This post contains affiliate links. Many readers LOVE modern-day versions of an older fairy tale, myth, or legend. If you live in a state that uses Common Core standards, you might also be faced with a Reading Literature standard that asks students to specifically read a retelling. To help with that, I recently asked several English teachers to share great YA fiction titles that are appropriate for a secondary classroom (middle or high school), and here are the results.

Whether you’re talking about the paranormal or just plain odd, Ohio is easily the strangest state in the US. Remove ads and support us with a membership There are ten times more hauntings, more cry baby bridges, and more urban myths across the state the state of Ohio than any other state, but among all creepy or weird places in Ohio there is one that stands out to such a degree that you would think the weirdness in the rest of the state was actually emanating from it. Welcome to Helltown Ohio…. Helltown is a specific area within the Boston…
On a Summer night in 1988, two friends encountered a 'werewolf' in Cornwall. The beast fits the description of many of the dogman/werewolf sightings that have been cropping up so much in recent years. It's always interesting to gather more and more encounters that fit the paradigm of what people continue to report both in the United States and Europe. The account comes from John Hanson & Dawn Holloway's "Haunted Skies" series. Davidstowe Airfield, Cornwall, England: "Julia "Jools" Quinn decided to go out for a drive to Davidstowe Airfield one evening with a friend, hoping to see something out of the normal, bearing in mind its 'spooky reputation.' After locating the Davidstowe lookout tower, which was constructed in World War 2, they parked and had their lights on and there was a full moon when all of a sudden, ten or twelve sheep came running up close to the right hand side of the tower. She was trying to figure out what had frightened them when, without any warning, 'something' on two legs appeared and ran past them on the left hand side of the tower. It was a couple of hundred yards away. It was taller than a man, probably 7ft she estimated. It had big, pointy ears and had dark brown, wiry hair covering its body. It stood there for at least ten seconds--not on all fours, but on two legs. The sheep ran away, and were quickly followed by the creature. It had a strange face like a wolf, rather than the popular illustration of the Beast of Bodmin. The jaw was very long."

Garden gnome statues as we know them today were first created in the mid-1800s by Phillip Griebel, a sculptor of terracotta animals in a small town in Germany. Gnome legends were especially popular in Germany and Griebel made his gnome statues so that people could better enjoy the myths and stories of gnomes who lovingly tended to gardens at night. The very first garden gnomes were moulded from terracotta clay then dried, fired in a kiln and painted, garden gnomes soon became very popular. These gnomes are a cheeky, contemporary take on Griebel's originals and we think they're a riot! These gnomes are ideally suited to the indoors or very sheltered areas such as a wind-free porch or summerhouse as they are extremely fragile.
