Who would like this book? People who like creepy stuff.
Why? Hansel and Gretel get their heads cut off by their father to bring Johannes back from stone. Then, they go to a witches house where they almost get eaten. They find a family they like until they find out the man wished his 7 sons into swallows. They tried to set them free, so Gretel cut off her left middle finger. Hansel was gambled off to the Devil and had to go to Hell. Eventually, Hansel and Gretel find each other and they have to kill a dragon. More to come
