In 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 fairytales to center the multilayered Latinx experience through fantasy, science fiction, and a dash of magic.

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.
