Where it came from
Once Upon a Curse was published in 2004 by Scholastic as part of their push for contemporary young adult fiction that reimagined classic fairy tale tropes for a modern middle-grade audience. Written by Elizabeth Dawson Baker, the novel centers on the concept of family curses and high school social dynamics, fitting into the early 2000s trend of blending fantasy elements with relatable, everyday teenage struggles.
The book features a distinct aesthetic typical of early 2000s Scholastic releases, focusing on approachable cover art intended to draw in young readers browsing school library shelves or book fairs. While the title reflects the era's ongoing interest in fractured fairy tales, it is recognized as a modest entry in the author's body of work, valued primarily by collectors interested in the specific publishing landscape of the mid-2000s young adult genre.
