Into the Wild by Sarah Beth Durst

3.0

This is another one I would have loved as a kid. A brave, clever girl hero who has to save the world from the fairytale world that is slowly taking over. A plethora of beloved characters being reformatted in interesting ways. It loses some of its charm to an older reader like myself when it kind of dates itself by name dropping current popular culture, and keeps everything fairly simple. I wish there were fairy tale books like this that trusted its readership a little bit more. Kids are smart. They figured out the Hobbit, they should be able to figure out some more complicated writing.
