A Tale Dark & Grimm by Adam Gidwitz

4.0

A darling, dark little book, sort of the mashup of A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Princess Bride. The narrator is a little bit "too cute", a little too distracting with all of the fourth wall breaks. But an excellent mechanic for kids, warning when the more disturbing content is about to drop. And the book did have some great quotes/moral insights for every reader who's ever been disillusioned with the people they trust, and had to find their own strength. The blending of fairytales was fun, insightful, and sinister - all things you want from a good story ^_^.
