Review
"Each story flows into the next with humor, cleverness and an oddly absorbing realism…Gidwitz plays fast and loose, with reality a springboard from which to reapproach age-old stories." Holly Black
Review
* "Gidwitz is back with a second book that, if possible, outshines A Tale Dark and Grimm. This book begs to be read aloud, preferably to children who delight equally in hearing about pools of vomit and blood and about triumphant heroes."
Review
* "The grossness quotient has gone up in Gidwitzs companion to A Tale Dark and Grimm, his grisly reimagining of classic fairy tales. Translation: this second foray is even more enjoyable than the authors acclaimed debut."
Review
"Compulsively readable and just as read-out-loudable."
Review
"This companion to A Tale Dark and Grimm (Dutton, 2010) echoes the tone and style of the earlier installment as it follows Jack and Jill on their adventures. Gidwitz pulls from many fairy tales, including Jack and the Beanstalk, The Frog Prince, and The Emperors New Clothes, to weave his story together and makes up some lore of his own along the way. It is an enjoyable, creative read rife with fairy tale violence and injury befalling the intrepid heroes and their clever, cautious, talking three-legged frog sidekick. The adults in this novel are not kind or loving, leaving the children to their own devices. Ultimately, the cousins find happiness in themselves and each other as they learn to really see themselves."
