For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleA fantastic read, start to finish.I didn't really know what to expect going in to this, but I am always interested in fairy tale retellings.This one has the unique premise of telling the "real" story of Hansel and Gretel by reworking multiple Grimm sto...
My coworker (again, the one with the best taste) recommended this book to me. Let me take this moment to say that I didn't really enjoy a Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. He was always going on about how their lives were so terrible, but I just thought they're not dead, they're sti...
This book is a retelling of The Empire Strikes Back and a guide to becoming a Jedi. It is told through Luke Skywalker's point of view, and follows the original book's story line very closely. In between chapters Gidwitz talks directly to the reader giving lessons on meditation and self-control. Gidw...
Once upon a time, fairy tales were awesome. - Opening Sentence I read this book because the author, Adam Gidwitz, is coming to visit our school in September and I wanted to be familiar with his works. I'm reading Star Wars: So You Want to be a Jedi also written by Gidwitz. I enjoyed this boo...
This is a great big DNF. What a huge disappointment. My favorite of the original Star Wars movies, and I couldn't even struggle through this painful novelization. Second person POV is an awkward, off-putting narrative style, and it did not work for me. I can't think of an instance that it has EV...

Am Anfang Es war einmal ein Königreich namens Grimm. Der König dieses Landes lag auf dem Sterbebett. Er war der Großvater von Hänsel und Gretel - aber das wusste er nicht, weil Hänsel und Gretel noch nicht auf der Welt waren. Moment mal. Ich weiß, was ihr jetzt denkt. Natürlich will keiner eine Ge...
In this mischievous and utterly original debut, Hansel and Gretel walk out of their own story and into eight other classic Grimm-inspired tales. As readers follow the siblings through a forest brimming with menacing foes, they learn the true story behind (and beyond) the bread crumbs, edible houses,...
I am sad that this series is over, but it ends in such a satisfying way. I do think that this series is required reading for those who like fairy tales and especially clever retellings. Each volume ups the ante on the grim aspect of fairy tales. Each book seems less appropriate for a younger audienc...
