In a Glass Grimmly
by Adam Gidwitz
illustrated by Hugh D'Andrade

Jack and Jill went up a hill, but first they must climb up a bean stalk and compete against a group of giants before Jack even falls down!   In this twisted retelling of Jack and Jill, the two characters experience a series of wild adventures, including evil mermaids and a fire-breathing salamander, as they seek the magical Seeing Glass.   

Fans of author Adam Gidwitz's A Tale Dark and Grimm will enjoy this book!   As in A Tale Dark and Grimm, this new book takes a traditional tale and mixes in parts from other familiar stories, including Jack and the Beanstalk and The Emperor's New Clothes.  In a Glass Grimmly is full of unexpected twists and the occasional gory parts that made A Tale Dark and Grimm a favorite among many readers!
