Relit

This vibrant anthology reimagines sixteen classic stories through a Latinx lens, transporting familiar tales into outer space, deep ocean trenches, and tropical islands. Award-winning authors transform works like Pride and Prejudice and Frankenstein into speculative fiction adventures where Latinx characters finally take center stage, blending fantasy, science fiction, and horror elements with cultural specificity. These aren't mere retellings but complete reinventions that honor the original works while boldly claiming new narrative territory.

The collection's power lies in how it makes literary canon feel immediate and relevant to contemporary young readers, particularly those who rarely see themselves reflected in classic literature. From shape-shifting protagonists to Costa Rican settings, these stories celebrate the multilayered Latinx experience while introducing all readers to fresh perspectives on timeless themes. This is exactly the kind of inclusive, imaginative storytelling that expands what young adult literature can be—both mirror and window for a new generation.
