This was a book club pick so I am aware that I am not the intended audience. While I love the concept of retelling Grimm fairytales as one continuous story of Hansel and Gretel, I found the narrator who keeps interrupting with repetitive jokes and warnings too distracting from the narrative - but can see how middle schoolers might appreciate him.

Good middle grade reader. Not super deep but a good introduction to dark themes and story connections.

This is A Series of Unfortunate Events meets Grimm fairytales. It is EXCELLENTLY done!

I will say though, I don’t think a child younger than middle school age should read this.
