Fourth Wing Parody: Fifth Wing by Reid Mockery, 156 pages
What if Fourth Wing was written by someone with no filter, a grudge against fantasy tropes, and a plus-sized heroine who gives zero sh*ts? Welcome to Fifth Wing.
Vile Soreinbut isn’t graceful, chosen, or even particularly motivated—but she’s confident, curvy, and somehow bonds with the most temperamental dragon in the sky. Now she’s stuck at Mudbath Community War College, dodging flaming obstacle courses, toxic rivals, and one very broody, leather-clad disaster named Xadence Marriott.
Xadence was supposed to be a dark, mysterious heartthrob. Instead, he’s being emotionally dismantled by a woman who eat pastries during battle briefings and thinks seduction starts with mild insults.
This laugh-out-loud fantasy parody skewers everything you love (and secretly hate) about the tragic backstories, enemies-to-lovers angst, overly dramatic deaths, and dragons who might be high.

Charles Dickens and the Street Children of London by Andrea Warren, 156 pages
Provoked by the horrors he saw every day, Charles Dickens wrote novels that were originally intended as instruments for social change — to save his country’s children.Charles Dickens is best known for his contributions to the world of literature, but during his young life, Dickens witnessed terrible things that stayed with families starving in doorways, babies being “dropped” on streets by mothers too poor to care for them, and a stunning lack of compassion from the upper class. After his family went into debt and he found himself working at a shoe-polish factory, Dickens soon realized that the members of the lower class were no different than he, and, even worse, they were given no chance to better themselves. It was then that he decided to use his greatest talent, his writing ability, to tell the stories of those who had no voice.
