Disney Book Group sent me books from the Villains series and teamed up with me for a giveaway!
There are always two sides to a story.
My mother taught me that when I was young. I love thinking and learning about why people become the person that they are, I love a good origin story!
Some of the most iconic Disney Villains are now having their story told. Get ready to learn about Cruella De Vil!
On July 7th the newest installment in Serena Valentino’s VILLAINS SERIES is being released. EVIL THING shares the story of 101 Dalmatians from Cruella’s point of view. The books are recommended for ages 9 and older and are Disney, but dark.
Synopsis
Cruella De Vil is the perfect villain: stylish, witty, relentless…and possibly cursed.
From her lonely childhood, to her iconic fashion choices, to that fateful car crash (you know the one), Cruella tells all in this marvelous memoir of a woman doomed. Even the cruelest villains have best friends, true loves, and daring dreams. Now it’s Cruella’s turn to share hers.
This latest novel by the author of the wildly popular and darkly fascinating Villains series brings readers a tale told by the Evil Thing herself. A tale of the complicated bonds of female friendship, of mothers and daughters, and of burning, destructive desire.
After all, nothing is as simple as black and white.
