The cover art is amazing, and Hugh D’Andrade did a fantabulous job with the art.

I also have to give him a high-five for the character Eidechse von Feuer, der Menschenfleischfressende, the giant salamander both the name and the character himself are awesome, as well as the spunky narrator who warns us throughout the story when lots of gore is up ahead. At the end of In A Glass Grimmly, he says where the stories came from and that is very fascinating. They were so perfectly written and the author is SO creative! He must have quite an imagination to put all of this together into one story. In two enthralling tales of adventure and gore, Adam Gidwitz’s first two books are sure to make readers fans o f the author and leave them begging for more fairy tales. Hansel and Gretel long for good parents who wouldn’t cut off the heads of their children, and Jack and Jill are ashamed of something, and are looking for a new home and life. These extremely scary and gory tales capture their journeys. Both pairs of characters long for something different in their lives.

There were other details details that were not told in the original short version. Hope you like the review AND the fanart and polls at the bottom! Hansel and Gretel is not just breadcrumbs and evil witches. Hey guys! Here is my double fairy tale feature: A Tale Dark & Grimm AND In A Glass Grimmly by Adam Gidwitz!
