Frustrated by all the happy goofy representations of fairy tales? Well, so was Chris. So, he decided to mix them up a little. This book has several of the standard fairy tale chara cters, such as Red Riding Hood, the witch who liked to eat children (Hansel & Gretel), Snow White, the Frog Prince, and more. The thing is, the Frog Prince is in hiding; Red Riding Hood is a snippy warrior-type on a mighty steed, Snow White is pregnant and rules over a very troubled kingdom of territories that the two children who hold the book that transported them to this crazy land must navigate to get to Snow White's castle. Most of the territories are extremely dangerous. This book is both hilariously witty and thrilling (but not too scary). It is a delight for all ages. Show more
