Tale Dark & Grimm

Adam Gidwitz (2010), 256 pages
Audience: 6th Grade - 8th Grade
Everyone knows the tale of Hansel & Gretel but this one is quite different and certainly reads as the title forecasts, as dark and Grimm. Yes, the familiar story is there but the twists and turns are most unexpected and take you down paths that are somewhat reminiscent of other Grimm tales. Quirky, scary and funny, this tale has deep truths and remarkable vision into the heart and soul of people of all ages. Companion book: In a Glass Grimmly with another title to be released in October 2013.
