P is for Perfect (for Reluctant Readers)

This series of short stories features a variety of genres all within the framework of magic, horror, and fantasy. A few of the stories are darker retellings of traditional children’s fairy tales, with well-known characters in completely new plots. Other stories are wacky but equally as dark. Most of the stories end with characters having to face the consequences of their own arrogance, and the cyclical nature of life.

BTSYA / Teen Reader (17):
Because none of the stories are interconnected, you can pick up and drop off wherever you want. All these short stories embrace the unexpected, keeping the reader interested in whatever happens next.

This book would be a great gift for someone ages 10 to 14 who is interested in fantastical stories who might not have the time to read a whole book at once.

Readers who love fantasy, magic, and/or horror, but not long chapter books will be thrilled to read (and re-read!!) this collection of short stories. 

Like most Gaiman stories, they have darkness and violence. There are sexual references and characters use profanity.
