This may be telling you stuff you already know. The Nnedi Okorafor story is part of tor.com's new line of novellas, which are primarily published for e-readers -- did you get hard copy from the library, or...? I'm interested in this length -- I get quite cranky about doorstops, and trilogies of doorstops -- so I have been meaning to run some of these down. The e-book retailers now have several omnibus collections of the tor.com novellas.
Ursula Vernon has been becoming a favorite of mine over the last year, since I "met" her as a result of The Recent Awards Unpleasantness. She's got a great LiveJournal, with lots of hand-drawn pages and gardening notes, at "ursulav." I've given copies of "Harriet the Invincible" and "Castle Hangnail", two of her newer younger-reader books, and I should read them myself. Under the name T.Kingfisher she does fairy tale reworkings for adults. She's got a brand-new folktale re-spinning at Apex Magazine called "Razorback", and now I'm going to worry that it's a little dark for you. :-(
