I found it hard to connect with the characters (Hazel was far too compliant, which she herself admitted repeatedly; she was lucky that Gray was creative and bold in his thinking), but I will say this was an unusual twist on the Hansel & Gretel fairy tale of my childhood. Definitely not a children’s tale.
