“A wonderful sense of humor and narrative voice … completely fresh and unique.” –Rick Riordan, #1 bestselling author

Hansel and Gretel walk out of their own story and into eight other classic Grimm (and Grimm-inspired) fairy tales. An irreverent, witty narrator leads us through encounters with witches, warlocks, dragons, and the devil himself. As the siblings roam a forest brimming with menacing foes, they learn the true story behind the famous tales, as well as how to take charge of their destinies and create their own happily ever after. Because once upon a time, fairy tales were awesome.

Amazing narrator. Gruesome

We love the podcast by this author, Grim, Grimmer Grimmest, and really enjoyed this book. It's amazing that he can make such a gruesome story so enjoyable. That being said this is way Grimmer than any of the stories in his podcast. There were times when I kept thinking to myself "I can't believe I'm letting my kids listen to this" and yet he narrates in such a way that it's not scary and it's absolutely entertaining.

Definitely recommend, but with a huge caution for those that are less comfortable with really gory imagery.

Funny and gore filled book

The book is amazing and so is the reader. I highly recommend this book for anyone 6th grade and higher

I thought it was really cute lot of fun to listen

totally worthless thing to a great job narrating it as obviously he was best one for it.

So awesome!!!

Highly recommended for family! The story is so captivating and teaching great lessons without being preachy. Adam Gidwitz is so awesome!!!!
