Description

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.

    I love this book. I’m 10 years old in 5th grade.I love reading soooooooo much. This book is beyond others though. I find a lot of things scary that are not scary at all but this book no matter how bad it got I could not stop reading. I loved the way that the author talks to you throughout the book. This book is in my all time favs. - 𝙿𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚕 𝚆. 𓆉

    Definitely the funniest (and goriest) book I have ever read. I personally liked all the gore and blood, and the narration reminded me a bit of Lemony Snicket. I LOVED how it was based off of original Grimm fairy tales. This book also might be a good read for people who don't exactly like reading. I remember recommending this book to my friend and it she really loved it even though she doesn't like reading like I do. Anyways, GET THIS BOOK (please!) You won't regret it... 📖.

    While the author keeps saying in the story, this is only for adults. She says now make sure your children aren't hiding under your bed. But I think it can maybe be for a very mature younger audience. Anyways, ❤️ This book

    I love this book because instead of a happy ending, (which is so naive) this story has a fun way of showing the stuff that really would happen in these cases
