![]() ![]() 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. Adam Gidwitz is the author of the Newbery Honor winning THE INQUISITORS TALE, the best-seller A TALE DARK AND GRIMM and its companions, and the new series. 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. In this mischievous and utterly original debut, Hansel and Gretel walk out of their own story and into eight other classic Grimm–inspired tales. Once upon a time, you see, fairy tales were awesome. It may be frightening, and it’s certainly bloody, but, unlike those other fairy tales you know, this one is true. But if you dare, Follow Hansel and Gretel as they walk out of their own story and into the wilds-where magic, terror, and a little bit of humor shine like white pebbles lighting the way. Reader, beware! Warlocks with dark spells, hunters with deadly aim, and bakers with ovens retro-fitted for baking children lurk within these pages. ![]()
