This series was AMAZING! It was a murder mystery on the moon.

The other books in the series are not so gruesome as this first one but equally well-done. This book will make you want to reread your Complete Brother’s Grimm. Once in the wild forest, Hansel transforms into a ravenous, hunter-beast and Gretel continues on her own. While he’s sometimes distracting, for the most part, I liked how his snarky voice kept me from getting too freaked out by the gruesome parts. The narrator, a strong, quirky voice, warns us of the bloody things to come. Hansel and Gretel abandon their terrible parents in order to find better ones –ones that won’t try to kill them. This book is macabre but an excellent, imaginative story that weaves Hansel and Gretel with eight more Grimm fairy tales. Illustrations throughout make this even more appealing to read and imagine. He and his best friend, Quint, live in an upgraded, well-defended treehouse where they plan to rescue his crush June (she doesn’t need rescuing by the way) and fight zombies.

At least that’s how Jack approaches life and zombie fighting. The Last Kids on Earth by Max Brallier, illustrated by Douglas ColgateĪn easier read for 6th graders that makes the zombie apocalypse fun.

You’ll love every second of this entertaining, Indian mythology adventure. She says things like “ Be good, sweet beetle-dung toadstools.” Okay, Kiranmala’s parents are super awesome, too. The prince’s demon grandma, Ai-Ma, is my FAVORITE character. But there’s a lot more she’ll learn - like who her real parents are (yikes!) and that demons can be your friends. Kiranmala discovers on her 12th birthday that she’s a princess from another realm and her parents are trapped in a black hole-type place. This story pulls you in from the first page. The Serpent’s Secret( Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond #1) by Sayantani Dasgupta Fortunately, a persistent classmate Violet Rey (also his crush) helps Charlie follow the clues to find out what happened to his parents and if he’s the prophesied Morphling who is meant to save the world. I highly recommend Charlie Hernández and the League of Shadows by Ryan Calejo - it’s immediately engaging with the perfect balance of action, dialogue, & description interspersed with Spanish words and phrases. But it’s when he grows HORNS, the WINGS, and meets the MYTHS in real life - like calacas, mukis, and El Justo Juez - that he’s really freaked out.
