A Tale Dark & Grimm by Adam Gidwitz is a reimagining of the Hansel and Gretel story and it takes them through many different fairytales, often with disastrous if not character strengthening results. The Grimm fairytales are brought back into the bloody, not particularly happy side with this book. This book comes full circle in its tale and the reader is left with some musings over fate and a sense of tenuous happiness. Aged for grades 5 and up, I would cautiously recommend this one, there are some violent scenes as well as a trip to hell contained within this book, so definitely know your reader.
