The Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer is a high-stakes YA sci-fi fantasy that reimagines classic fairy tales—Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Snow White—in a futuristic, cyberpunk world threatened by a deadly plague and an impending space war. The story begins with Cinder, a gifted mechanic and reviled cyborg in New Beijing, who unexpectedly meets Crown Prince Kai and finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle. As a sinister plot by Queen Levana of the moon colony Luna unfolds, Cinder must team up with a ragtag crew of outcasts to uncover her secret royal heritage, fight for equality between Earth and Luna, and save the world from total tyranny.
