A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz

 

This is another one of the Maine Student Book Award nominees.  I am a fan of the Grimm fairy tales - so different than the Disney versions.  This one is the story of Hansel and Gretel and in true Grimm fashion it is more violent and bloody and no singing princesses.  I really enjoyed the book.  I like how the narrator stops and addresses the reader - warning about the violent parts or just giving extra information.  I have heard there will be more in the series and I would definitely read them.  Below is the link to the book trailer.  Enjoy :)
