The Grimm Conclusion

By: Adam Gidwitz

Narrated by: Adam Gidwitz

From Newbery Honor-winning, New York Times bestselling author Adam Gidwitz

Did you know that Cinderella’s stepsisters got their eyes pecked out by birds? Really. And that
Rumpelstiltskin ripped himself in half? And that in “The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage,” a mouse, a bird, and a sausage all talk to each other? (Okay, I guess that one’s not that grim.)

Those are the real fairy tales. But they have nothing on the fairy tales in this book.

For more twisted tales look for A Tale Dark and Grimm and In a Glass Grimmly.

* “Underneath the gore, the wit, and the trips to Hell and back, this book makes it clearer than ever that Gidwitz truly cares about the kids he writes for.” —Publishers Weekly starred review

“Entertaining story-mongering, with traditional and original tropes artfully intertwined.”—Kirkus Reviews

“As innovative as they are traditional, the stories maintain clear connections with traditional Grimm tales while creatively connecting to the narrative, and all the while keeping the proceedings undeniably grisly and lurid. . . .Readers will rejoice.”—School Library Journal

“Gory, hilarious, touching, and lyrical all at once, with tons of kid appeal.”—The Horn Book

“Adam Gidwitz leads us into creepy forests, gruesome deeds, terrible monsters, and—far worse—the dark places of the human heart. It’s horrible . . . and I LOVED it!”—Tom Angleberger, author of The Strange Case of Origami

Great book

It is a really great book this is my second time reading this book. I don’t recommend this book to ages 8 and younger, but other than that it is a really awesome book. Thank you Adam Gidwitz for narrating and writing this book.

The best book I’ve ever read!

It might seem crazy that the best book I have read is a book targeted to children, but this is a masterpiece! It has a good message at the end and it’s just great overall. The storytelling is beautiful, I wish there was another book because you’re storytelling is just so exciting and fun to listen to. And this book does get a bit gory at some points, but I think it really adds to the story, I do love gore and you might not agree,but this book is a masterpiece! Thank you Adam Gidwitz for this very immersive book,I will always remember this book. Thank you for this wonderful piece of art.

My kids love these

These stories are gruesome and my kids love them. The author is an amazing story teller.
