It's week 2 of Rumpelstiltskin Month, and Drew and Cassie are back to dive into Spinners by Donna Jo Napoli and Richard Tchen. This is the story of two spinners. The first, a man who renames nameless throughout the book, hones his craft at a stolen wheel, crippling his leg, turning a room full of straw into a golden dress for his beloved - and losing her in the process. The second is Saskia, the daughter of a miller, a young girl who teaches herself to craft beautiful, unique yarns. And then the king learns of Saskia's talent, bringing the two spinners together. Tune in for some strong opinions about some of the genius ways this book retells the story of Rumpelstiltskin - and one devastating way in which it misses the mark!
