Wydaje się, że bycie Jedi to czysta przyjemność. I tak jest. Ale nie tylko. Bo ścieżka Jedi to nie wyłącznie efektowne pojedynki i władza, jaką daje Moc... Żeby zostać Jedi, trzeba wielu lat ciężkiej pracy, codziennych trening�w, ćwiczeń mentalnych?

      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

    • Adam Gidwitz verbindet die gruselige Gewalt der Grimmschen Märchen mit Humor und Spannung. Er erzählt die Geschichten um Hänsel und Gretel neu und überzeugt, dass sie so erzählt werden sollten. Diese Nacherzählung ist düster und blutig, weit entfernt von gewöhnlichen Kindergeschichten und nichts für Angsthasen.
