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.

This book was just amazing you just have to read it also kids under 10 don't read it it's not appropriate for them.

It is a really good fractured fairy tale. It is really good, but it has some weird parts and some funny parts too.

This book is good!!!!!!! It has action and mystery and some weird parts.

It was very adventurist, and bloody and it was really funny. I thought the Devil was very creepy i was expecting him to be bald.

LOVE THIS BOOK I <3 it cause the author warns you about stuff Hansel and Gretal face the unexpected and if it was a movie it would be rated R LOL
