This was a book club pick so I am aware that I am not the intended audience. While I love the concept of retelling Grimm fairytales as one continuous story of Hansel and Gretel, I found the narrator who keeps interrupting with repetitive jokes and warnings too distracting from the narrative - but can see how middle schoolers might appreciate him.
