One of the best 'modernized' fairy tales I've read in ages, as a novel, though very different, as good in quality as Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinley, who's been doing this kind of thing for a while. The trend towards fantasty in YA at the moment is bringing out all kinds of interesting contrasts! A very 'now' message about judging people by the way they look and then setting it in a Gossip Girl type world (I thought the 'goth chick is actually a witch' touch was cute, even if you could see it coming a mile away. Short, clever, sweet.
