A Tale Dark & Grimm is the book i was read it's was writen by Adam Gidwitz. This genre is is fiction. I chose this book because of my sister she gave a little bit about "A Tale Dark & Grimm". This book has one main story ,but the charpters build off of each other. This was first written by the Grimm brother.

This story is about Hansel, Gretel, and their parents. Their parents getting together and three crows that can tell the future. The king thought that Faithful Johannes (he is ungly) was betraying him, but was really saving him and his wife from death. Then hansel and Gretel (twins) came. Their wanted Johannes to come back from the dead. (he was statured) So he cut off their heads like Johannes said to, and smeared it on the statured of Johannes and he and the twins came back to life. Hansel and Gretel thought that their father hated them and so they left the kingdom of grimm. They met a women who likes eating childern and has a house made out of candy. She shoved hansel into the oven to get cook, but she out smarted her. She deid in the oven. A father with seven sons just wanted a daughter and wished his sons in to swallows. Hanel and gretel found them and made them their new mom and dad. Gretel only wanted her new mom to be happy , then her mom was talking to to gretel dad and said that her sons are now swallows. Gretel and hansal travel to a mountain to the seven swallows were. Gretel lost the key. (The key was shaped like a finger) So she took a sharp piece of ice and cut off her middle fingure and put it in the key hole. The seven swallow turn back in to boys. Hansel and gretel found a tree that could talk and told them not to desturb anything here in the would. Hansel did a couple times and turn in to a wolf tapy thing. Someone shoted him and took him home. Gretel was sad and went to this small town when she found this widow. She stead there for mounths. The whole town went to harvest. She never play with the kid, she would instead sit and listen to stories with these adults. Gretel love to listen to one adult. He would fix toys with a magical twin. One night he said to greyel"come to my house i will leave a trail of ash.". She wanted to go, but didn't. He said the same thing to gretel the next. She went home with the widow and said" i'm go to that pretty man's house.", gave her a bag with sparkles that would light up in the night. Gretel starts spreading the sparkles along the way like she was told. She gets to his house and his mother told her that he will take your soul and she escape. The rich fellow who told hansel home got him out of his beast skin. By cutting it off of him. The rich man gamble with devil, and bets hansel. The man loses, And now hansel has t go to the underworld. He escapes with the devil three hairs. Then hansel and gretel meet up later in the same kingdom which they left.

I like how where one chapter lefts off the next chapter picks up and how the author told the real stories of hansel and gretel. I didn't like some of there words adam used and the descripted in some parts of the book. I would recommend it to people who want to know the real story of hansel and gretel.
