The Grimm Conclusion (A Tale Dark & Grimm Book 3)

Once upon a time, fairy tales were grim.
Â
Cinderellaâ€™s stepsisters got their eyes pecked out by birds.
Â
Rumpelstiltskin ripped himself in half.
Â
And in a tale called â€œThe Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage,â€ a mouse, a bird, and a sausage all talk to each other. Yes, the sausage talks. (Okay, I guess that oneâ€™s not that grimâ€¦)
Â
Those are the real fairy tales.
Â
But they have nothing on the story Iâ€™m about to tell.
Â
This is the darkest fairy tale of all. Also, it is the weirdest. And the bloodiest.
Â
It is the grimmest tale I have ever heard.
Â
And I am sharing it with you.
Â
Two children venture through forests, flee kingdoms, face ogres and demons and monsters, and, ultimately, find their way home. Oh yes, and they may die. Just once or twice.Â
Â
Thatâ€™s right. Fairy tales
Are
Awesome.Â Â Â

* â€œIf it ainâ€™t broke, donâ€™t fix it, and Gidwitz deploys his successful formula of bloody happenings and narratorial intrusion in his third and final installment of unexpurgated fairy tales. â€¦ 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.â€ â€”Publishers WeeklyÂ starred review
Â
â€œEntertaining story-mongering, with traditional and original tropes artfully intertwined.â€â€”Kirkus Reviews

â€œThe conclusion to the trilogy that began withÂ A Tale Dark and GrimmÂ (2010) and continued withÂ In a Glass GrimmlyÂ (2012, both Dutton) is equally gorey and awesomely dark. ... 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. â€¦ Readers will rejoice.â€â€”Â School Library Journal
