Bookroo's summary
In a world where children are on the menu, siblings must outwit a sinister force with a taste for young ones. Can they survive this twisted adventure, or will they become the next meal? Discover a blend of humor and suspense in this gripping tale.
From the publisher
I love children. Eating them, that is. So begins this funny, nail-biting adventure for readers who love Roald Dahl and Adam Gidwitz. Called “funny and subversive” by USA Today and a “literary treat” by The New Yorker, the book blends humor and adventure, adds sibling arguments while mixing well and goes down in a single, surprising gulp. For dessert, read the harrowing, humorous sequel–book two of THE UNITED STATES OF GRIMM series.
