Mikayla Leskey | Arts and Entertainment Editor Juniper & Thorn by Ava Reid is a retelling that you’ve never known you needed. It’s a gothic retelling of The Juniper Tree , where a boy is murdered by this stepmother who cooks him and feeds him to his father. The boy’s sister buries his bones under a juniper tree and he’s reborn as a magical bird. Eventually it leads him to kill his stepmother and bring him back to life, but this retelling, it’s something you wouldn’t expect
