Description

Welcome to a world of fractured fairy tales where Hansel and Gretel are horrible children who deserve to be baked and where Beauty is dismayed when her beloved Beast turns human. In the realm of the Brothers Grimm and the Sisters Weird, when the sky really does fall, Chicken Little becomes the leader of a religious movement, gets her own TV show, collects millions of dollars to build a theme park, and then makes off with the money.

This collection of hilarious, twisted fairy tales and tongue-in-cheek interpretations of more than a dozen favorite stories will have readers in stitches.

What happens when your favorite fairy tales take a sharp turn for the weird?

• Fairy Tale Retelling: Discover a world where the wolf is Little Red Riding Hood's best friend, Beauty prefers her Beast hairy, and Hansel and Gretel absolutely deserve what's coming to them.

• Humorous Short Stories: Follow along as Chicken Little starts a movement, gets her own TV show, and makes off with the cash when the sky really does fall.

• Satirical Humor: Laugh out loud at the unexpected outcomes, like when the Ugly Duckling grows up and decides to get some payback on his childhood tormentors.

• Middle Grade Humor: Perfect for kids ages 10-12 and readers of all ages who love clever, witty, and irreverent takes on the classics they thought they knew.
