Matchless: A Christmas Story by Gregory MaguirePublisher: Harper Collins 2009

Gregory Maguire has made his fame taking beloved classic fairytales and turning them on their head by giving us new insights into the often overlooked villains and sidekicks of the stories. His most famous work, Wicked, which is the story of the Wicked Witch's tale from The Wizard of Oz, was even made into a Broadway musical.
In this children's tale, Maguire takes a fresh look into The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen. If you haven't read this classic story, then do so first. And after you have dried your tears and used your last Kleenex, read Maguire's continuation of her story. And then curse that you used your last Kleenex as this book is sure to make the Grinch cry.
