Chris Colfer, 31, can't recall a time that he wasn't writing for fun. When his memorable role on Glee ended in 2015, he had already penned the first four middle-grade chapter books in the best-selling Land of Stories series, an empowering and thoroughly modern take on fairy tales. Colfer's latest, Goldilocks: Wanted Dead or Alive, is a graphic novel that takes a deep dive into the origin story of one of the most popular characters in his series.

"Goldilocks is everything I've ever wanted to be. She's strong, brave, smart as a whip, an amazing acrobat, a fearless warrior, but most important, her heart is just as golden as her hair," he says.
