Challenge and Giveaway for the #TackleTBR Read-a-Thon

Tackle Your TBR Readathon 2018 #TackleTBR
Tackle Your To-be-Read Read-a-thon 2018


Today's challenge:

Name a Book with Retold Fairy Tales, Folktales, Myths | or name a Diverse Book



This round of Pass or Pages, our query contest, the genre choice was retellings of myths, legends, folktales, or fairy tales with diverse characters. (Results of the contest will appear starting on Monday.)

So, for today's #TackleTBR challenge, the Operation Awesome team would like you to name either a book that is a retelling of a myth, legend, folktale, or fairy tale OR name a book with a diverse main character.
(Both is also good.)

Example:
Cinder by Marissa Meyer is a retelling of Cinderella with a "second-class citizen" main character.

The diverse book movement recognizes all diverse experiences, including (but not limited to) LGBTQIA, Native, people of color, gender diversity, people with disabilities, and ethnic, cultural, and religious minorities. https://diversebooks.org #WeNeedDiverseBooks

COMMENT WITH A BOOK AND AN ANSWER:


What myth, legend, folktale, or fairy tale is retold in the book you picked?
Or
In what ways are the main characters in the book diverse?

The prize
Open to anyone who Amazon can ship this to.
You do not have to take part in #TackleTBR to play. However, there is an extra entry to readathon participants.
We will NOT save or use the Rafflecopter information given beyond this Rafflcopter Giveaway.

Sample comment:
Challenge B. 
I choose Errol, an owl from the Harry Potter series. He was a Great Grey Owl that resembled a molting feather duster. His loyalty was to the Weasley family in the Harry Potter books by JK Rowling. Errol provided comic relief and small stumbling blocks for the other characters.
