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!

Review Quotes
"Taylor's digital illustrations take the loony text several steps farther, and readers will enjoy the cameos from characters from other familiar tales...A twisted take on an old standard that just may have readers rewriting their own favorites." --Kirkus Reviews
