Important Question!
Does anyone know of any novels that are retellings of Mulan? Or honestly any stories where the female main character disguises herself as a guy, I’m just in the mood to read about a girl who doesn’t have to deal with being a girl. Ya feel?
Thank you everyone who replied! Y’all gave me a nice long list of girl-disguised-as-a-boy books:
- Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh
- Leviathan by Scott Westerfield
- Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett
- Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao (maybe?? Couldn’t find any hint of it in reviews but whatevs I believe you)
- Eon & sequel Eona by Alison Goodman
- The Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce (Tamora Pierce is the BOMB DOT COM I love her Beka Cooper books)
- Sovay by Celia Rees
- Reflection by Elizabeth Lim
- The Wild Orchid by Cameron Dokey
- Cymbeline by Shakespeare
- Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson (ooh that sounds good!)
- China’s Bravest Girl: The Legend of Hua Mu Lan by Charlie Chin
And bonus: Owner of the Lonely Heart, a T-rated Ron x Hermione fic where Hermione disguises herself as a boy.
