Disney’s New York Times best-selling A Twisted Tale series meets perennial fan-favorite The Nightmare Before Christmas, asking
“What if Sally discovered Christmas Town instead of Jack?”
Sally has mostly loved her creepy hometown of Halloween Town. But lately, she can't help but want something more. In a place full of the frightening, you'd think living in the shadows wouldn't feel so . . . isolating. She knows she could do so much more if she wasn't always stuck in the lab of her creator, Dr. Finkelstein. Soon Sally is surprised to learn that the Pumpkin King, Jack, is longing for a change of his own. Determined to find a solution for them both, Sally follows a vision that could be the key to changing their fates.
But the more time Sally spends in the strange, jolly land of Christmas Town, the more suspicious she grows of the seemingly idyllic winter wonderland. What is lurking behind those dancing sugar plums? And what exactly does it mean to be put on the Naughty List? Will Sally be able to save the best of both towns—before it's too late?
The series
In a world where the familiar becomes unfamiliar, the Twisted Tales series by Farrah Rochon takes beloved stories and turns them on their heads. Each book within the series imagines what might happen if key moments in iconic tales took a different path, leading to new destinies for its characters. Rather than simply retelling a classic, these stories ask, What if?—offering readers a glimpse into alternate worlds where choice and consequence create ripples that echo through time.
Read full series description
In Almost There, the reimagining of The Princess and the Frog, Tiana’s life takes an unexpected turn when she strikes a dangerous deal with the villainous Dr. Facilier. In a world where her dreams come true but at a cost, she must navigate the strange, dark underbelly of New Orleans, where everything is both familiar and eerily different. The stakes are high, and Tiana's journey becomes more than just about love—it's about survival in a world that was never meant to be.
Then, in Fate Be Changed, the reworking of Brave takes readers deep into a world where Merida’s fate is altered when she consumes the witch’s spell instead of her mother, Queen Elinor. What happens when Merida's decisions ripple backward in time? In this thrilling reimagining, Merida must bridge the divide between rival clans and forge a path where family bonds are tested and history itself is rewritten.
What makes Twisted Tales stand out is the perfect blend of rich character development, intense world-building, and the suspense of uncharted territory. Rochon’s mastery of these reimagined worlds feels effortless, pulling readers into the unknown with characters they already love but placing them in circumstances that force them to grow, adapt, and confront impossible choices.
With every story, Twisted Tales reminds readers that every moment is a crossroads, and with one different choice, the world could change forever. If you love the idea of alternate realities and the challenge of questioning fate itself, these books will keep you turning pages, wondering just how far the rabbit hole goes.
