But then we grow up. And life is not a fairy tale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristine Heppermann's collection of fifty poems puts the ideals of fairy tales right beside the life of the modern teenage girl. With piercing truths reminiscent of Laurie Halse Anderson and Ellen Hopkins, this is a powerful and provocative book for every young woman. E. Lockhart, author of \u003cem\u003eWe Were Liars\u003c\/em\u003e, calls it \"a bloody poetic attack on the beauty myth that's caustic, funny, and heartbreaking.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCruelties come not just from wicked stepmothers, but also from ourselves. There are expectations, pressures, judgment, and criticism. Self-doubt and self-confidence. But there are also friends, and sisters, and a whole hell of a lot of power there for the taking. In fifty poems, Christine Heppermann confronts society head on. Using fairy tale characters and tropes, \u003cem\u003ePoisoned Apples\u003c\/em\u003e explores how girls are taught to think about themselves, their bodies, and their friends. The poems range from contemporary retellings to first-person accounts set within the original tales, and from deadly funny to deadly serious. Complemented throughout with black-and-white photographs from up-and-coming artists, this is a stunning and sophisticated book to be treasured, shared, and paged through again and again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Greenwillow Books","offers":[{"title":"Poisoned Apples: Poems for You, My Pretty | Christine Heppermann | Hardcover | 9780062289575 | Used: Like New | Poetry 1699723","offer_id":48712244428952,"sku":"1699723","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61SjtZA-frL.jpg?v=1773786350","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/poisoned-apples-poems-for-you-my-pretty","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
