September 1, 2015 by Liz Braswell
Enter A Whole New
World, the first book in a new series, a twisted tale, that reimagines classic
Disney stories in surprising new ways. Each book asks the question: What if one
key moment from a familiar Disney film was changed? And in this dark and daring
version of Aladdin, the twist is : What if Aladdin never found the lamp?
When Jafar steals the
Genie's lamp, he uses his first two wishes to become sultan and the most
powerful sorcerer in the world. Agrabah lives in fear, waiting for his third
and final wish. To stop the power-mad ruler, Aladdin and the deposed princess
Jasmine must unite the people of Agrabah in rebellion. But soon their fight for
freedom threatens to tear the kingdom apart in a costly civil war. What happens
next? A Street Rat becomes a leader. A princess becomes a revolutionary. And
readers will never look at the story of Aladdin in the same way again. Ages 12 and up.

I think these books about twists on the classic tales would be so interesting to read. I love the covers also.

I'm a big fan of reading fiction and love the ones that twist up a classic kind of like Wicked did for The Wizard of Oz.
