Junior Library Guild Selection ALA's Amelia Bloomer List for Feminist Literature Nominated to ALA's Best Fiction for Young Adults List Nominated to Georgia Peach Book Award for Teen Readers List "This beautifully wrought novel offers plenty of fair-tale wonder, but Bashardoust resists the most common tropes; instead, she tells a story where women save each other with their own ingenuity, bravery, and love, and power and compassion can exist hand in hand. Compellingly flawed characters, vivid world-building, and pitch-perfect pacing make this utterly superb." --ALA Booklist , starred review "An empowering novel with strong, three-dimensional female protagonists who refuse to let jealousy and power break their bond. Filled with magic, adventure, and interesting characters, this debut will keep readers thoroughly engaged. A refreshing and progressive original retelling. Highly recommended." -- School Library Journal , starred review "Magic, mother-daughter conflict, and the quest for self-identity are given a dark and fantastical treatment in this chilling feminist adaptation of the Snow White fairy-tale. A hauntingly evocative adaptation that stands on its own merits." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "If you thought you were done with the re-imagined fairy tale trope, suspend your moratorium for Girls Made of Snow and Glass : Melissa Bashardoust has created a story more The Bloody Chamber than damsel-in-distress fable." -- Bustle "This is Snow White as it's never been told before. Fans of Game of Thrones will relish the loyalties and betrayals; with elements of the medieval legend of the golem, echoes of the movie Frozen , and plenty of magic, Girls Made of Snow and Glass is a feminist fantasy not to be missed." -- BookPage "A must-have for those who love luscious YA retellings. Absolutely stunning." -- Book Riot "A richly written rethinking of Snow White...Bashardoust thoughtfully reflects on the complicated nature of the stepdaughter/stepmother relationship while exploring agency, individuality, love, and free will." -- Publishers Weekly "In Girls Made of Snow and Glass , Melissa Bashardoust has given us exquisite displays of magic, complex mother-daughter relationships, and gloriously powerful women triumphing in a world that does not want them to be powerful. A gorgeous, feminist fairy tale." --Traci Chee, New York Times bestselling author of The Reader and The Speaker " Girls Made of Snow and Glass is like reading a particularly wonderful and vivid dream, complete with imaginative magic, delightful characters, and beautiful language.

Synopsis
Melissa Bashardoust's acclaimed debut novel Girls Made of Snow and Glass is "Snow White as it's never been told before...a feminist fantasy fairy tale not to be missed" ( BookPage ) "Utterly superb." --ALA Booklist , starred review "Dark, fantastical, hauntingly evocative." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "An empowering and progressive original retelling." -- SLJ , starred review Sixteen-year-old Mina is motherless, her magician father is vicious, and her silent heart has never beat with love for anyone--has never beat at all, in fact, but she'd always thought that fact normal. She never guessed that her father cut out her heart and replaced it with one of glass. When she moves to Whitespring Castle and sees its king for the first time, Mina forms a plan: win the king's heart with her beauty, become queen, and finally know love. The only catch is that she'll have to become a stepmother. Fifteen-year-old Lynet looks just like her late mother, and one day she discovers why: a magician created her out of snow in the dead queen's image, at her father's order. But despite being the dead queen made flesh, Lynet would rather be like her fierce and regal stepmother, Mina. She gets her wish when her father makes Lynet queen of the southern territories, displacing Mina. Now Mina is starting to look at Lynet with something like hatred, and Lynet must decide what to do--and who to be--to win back the only mother she's ever known...or else defeat her once and for all. Entwining the stories of both Lynet and Mina in the past and present, Girls Made of Snow and Glass traces the relationship of two young women doomed to be rivals from the start. Only one can win all, while the other must lose everything--unless both can find a way to reshape themselves and their story., Melissa Bashardoust's acclaimed debut novel Girls Made of Snow and Glass is "Snow White as it's never been told before...a feminist fantasy fairy tale not to be missed" ( BookPage )!
