November Book #1

Book: In A Glass Grimmly by Adam Gidwitz
Age-range: 8 and up

This is the much-anticipated follow-up to Gidwitz's book, A Tale Dark and Grimm. While the first one had a seamlessness to it, with every fairy tale feeling like they belonged with each other, this one is more like a series of connected stories that tell a larger story. I still haven't decided which I like more.

This one, like the first, was violent in an old-school fairy tale way, but it had so much more humor to break it up that I think a younger audience could really love this one.

Happy reading!

As a side note I am in a reading funk. Suggestions?
