In this mischievous and utterly original debut, Hansel and Gretel walk out of their own story and into eight other classic Grimm-inspired tales. As readers follow the siblings through a forest brimming with menacing foes, they learn the true story behind (and beyond) the bread crumbs, edible houses, and outwitted witches.

Fairy tales have never been more irreverent or subversive as Hansel and Gretel learn to take charge of their destinies and become the clever architects of their own happily ever after.

So gory but it's super awesome!!

An amazing book and quote,"To find the brightest wisdom one must pass through the darkest zones and through the darkest zones there can be no guide no guide that is but courage." -Adam Gidwitz

This gory book is a great campfire story at night and is awesome for kids who love gross and terrible adventures, like me. At first it may seem like another regular fairy tale with princesses and princes saving each other and then marrying, but it is far from that.
