(4) YA Flinn's contemporary spin on "Snow White" opens with a sympathetic backstory for the evil stepmother: Violet was a bullied ugly girl. The fairy tale then shifts to present-day, fairest-of-them-all Celine, who discovers her stepmom Violet wants her dead. Goose, a little person, provides a hideaway--and a prince. Character development is uneven, but the shifting narrators conceit works well here.
