Adventure stories with a gruesome twist

4 replies

DD(6) loves to read stories with a strong element of adventure and fantasy, but particularly ones with a dark or gruesome (but still lighthearted!) twist to them - some recent big hits were Zombierella (a retelling of Cinderella with a lot more death...) and Grimwood. Please does anyone have any suggestions for books along these lines?

Have you done Roald Dahl's revolting rhymes?

They're fun and gruesome!

Lemony Snicket Series of Unfortunate Events?

These are great suggestions - Lemony Snicket may be slightly too old for her but maybe worth trying!

Was there not a set of Disney stories retold with a twist? I can't remember the name of the series, and I've not read any so can't say if they're suitable for a 6 year old...
