Bookroo's summary

In a vibrant African forest, two siblings, Hansel and Gretel, find themselves ensnared in a witch's sinister plot. As they navigate the dense jungle, danger lurks at every turn. Can they outsmart the witch and escape her clutches, or will the forest become their final resting place? This reimagined fairy tale weaves suspense and adventure into a rich tapestry of survival and cunning.

Hansel and Gretel’s plight feels all the more threatening as they’re plunged into the thick, dark jungle of Isadora’s rich collages.
