A Tale Dark & Grimm by Adam Gidwitz

4.0

I see so much potential for deeper thinking activities for kids, but so gory. It took my breath away at parts because of the sheer level of gore. I think it will make kids motitvated to read, but I would be contentious about the age of child I would have read it.

Main idea: The whole story of Hansel and Gretel; 2 kids that run away, looking for good adults in the world, find horrific adventures along the way.

Certain parts would make great reader's theater for anyone, but because of the graphic nature of the descriptions, you would have to be careful where you stop and start.
