This is the second book in Adam Gidwitz's acclaimed series that humorously reimagines dark Grimm fairy tales for middle-grade readers. The tone balances genuine creepiness and darker moments with wit and levity, preventing it from becoming genuinely frightening. The protagonists demonstrate courage, problem-solving, and kindness, with the narrative rewarding clever thinking and empathy over violence.
