ByPublisher Description
16 classic stories reimagined: Latinx characters take center stage
Relit features sixteen original stories by award-winning and bestselling Latinx YA authors that revamp classics, myths, and fairy tales to center the multilayered Latinx experience through fantasy, science fiction, and a dash of horror.
Pride and Prejudice is launched into outer space, Frankenstein is plunged into the depths of the ocean, and The Great Gatsby floats to an island off the coast of Costa Rica. A shape-shifter gives up her life to save the boy she loves from an evil bruja. La Ciguapa covets a little mermaid’s heart of gold. Two star-crossed teens fall in love while the planet burns around them.
Whether characters fall in love, battle foes, or grow through grief, each story will empower readers to see themselves as the heroes of the stories that make our world.

“I read this for a staff book club read.
I did not like this. The premise was there. The product… not so great. How many times can we set a canonical text in space and call it a “retelling”. Being on Mars is not original or fun. At times the slang and modernity felt forced.
This just was not for me.”
