Marissa Meyer is the author of The Lunar Chronicles, a four-part YA series that retells classic fairy tales in a futuristic, high-tech world. In Book One: Cinder, Cinderella is re-envisioned as a girl who's part-human, part-machine. Her innate ability with mechanics brings her in contact with Prince Kai, and soon she's caught up in a political battle of wills between Earth and the cruel Lunar queen who wants to rule it. The series continues with Scarlet (Little Red Riding Hood), Cress (Rapunzel), and Winter (Snow White), as four heroines and a spaceship crew of ruffians join forces to end the war, overthrow a corrupt regime, and save the world.
