Book #2 in the It’s Not a Fairy Tale series
Siblings rewrite their fairy tale, challenging the storyteller's version.
Hansel and Gretel refuse to follow the traditional tale. Hansel questions the logic of breadcrumb trails, while Gretel insists on renaming the story. As they confront a candy house and its mysterious resident, these siblings aim to reshape their destiny. Will they outsmart the storyteller and find their own path? Dive into this whimsical retelling filled with humor and surprises, where nothing is as it seems and every twist is a chance for laughter.
Hansel and Gretel will not listen to their storyteller. For one thing, who leaves a trail of bread crumbs lying around, when there are people starving? Not Hansel, that’s for sure! And that sweet old lady who lives in a house made of cookies and candy? There’s no way she’s an evil witch! As for Gretel, well, she’s about to set the record straight–after all, who says the story can’t be called Gretel and Hansel? It’s time for these wacky siblings to take their fairy tale into their own hands. So sit back and enjoy the gingerbread!With laugh-out-loud dialogue and bold, playful art (including hidden search-and-find fairy-tale creatures), this Hansel and Gretel retelling will have kids giggling right up to the delicious ending!
