Not a bad retelling - some things seemed a bit of a stretch, other things worked out pretty well. I liked that the kids weren't *actually* left behind by their parents, like in the original.

Also, now I'm REALLY hungry!

A quirky yet cute retelling of Hansel and Gretel as pioneers on the Oregon Trail. My favorite part was the detailed layout of the fatty delicious-looking foods and the temperature gauge for "spittin' mad."

Parts of the story were a little out there but very unique and fun! The illustrations are entertaining too. I also adored the author's note at the end about the Oregon Trail and his recommendation to visit The End of the Oregon Trail Museum along with the website: https://historicoregoncity.org

Stay tuned for a more in-depth review on my blog for my LS Literature for Children's course.
