Relit

An ensemble of narrators delivers this collection of 16 classic stories, poems, fairy tales, and myths reimagined with a Latinx spin and frequent genre bending, mostly into sci-fi and fantasy. Each short story utilizes one or more narrators who mostly fit the gender identity of the main character. Each narrator fully commits to their story, emotionally connecting with teens who are experiencing love, claiming autonomy, and fighting fate. Karla Serrato is particularly delightful as she portrays a popular teen vlogger in space and her prejudice toward another shipmate. She also narrates a version of Goldilocks with fangs and a lust for blood. Andrew Joseph Perez's kaleidoscopic performances utilize an impressive range of accents and tones to differentiate characters in both short stories he narrates.
