emesskay 's review for:
In a Glass Grimmly
by Adam Gidwitz
The author takes the fairy tales we all know, takes them apart, and puts them back together into one coherent story. There is a tinge of darkness to this book, and is defintely not the Disney version. Our heroes go through numerous grueling and scary trials in search of a magic glass that is supposed to provide great power. In the process they learn about getting "con-fused" and what really matters. There are some grisly bits, and the "narrator" of the story pops in periodically to warn the reader about something ghastly that is coming up (in the vein of the Lemony Snicket "Series of Unfortunate Events" books). If you enjoyed Lemony Snicket's books, you will probably also enjoy this one.
