A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz

4.0

I would have loved this book so much as a kid, so I of course I loved it quite a bit now. Gidwitz combines several of the original gory tales from the Brothers Grimm together to tell the real story of Hansel and Gretel and his snarky narrator keeps the kids interest by reminding them that these are really gory stories and little kids shouldn't be reading them, as well as interjecting whenever something seems a little weird.

I'm a big fan of the original Grimm stories, so I had a great time with this one and will likely devour the rest of the series, but there are plenty of fractured fairy tales series out there, so if you're feeling a little burnt out, I'd understand why you might want to skip it.
