ARC copy for review...very a creepy horror-comedy middle grade fantasy retelling of several fairy-tales in particular...what really went on with Hansel and Gretel? Plus with Jack being a slight (ok make that really) loser obsessed with his phone like the rest of his peers and being sent to a "Deadzone" cottage with a creepy relative..yep they will be humor of THAT particular sort.

If you thought the days of great fairytale stories were passed, think again and add this book to your reading list. It's a fun modern-day fairytale anyone can enjoy.

Jack Riddle is your typical kid. He dreads most schoolwork and probably spends too much time on electronic devices, specifically his phone. When he goes to spend a few days with his great-aunt he quickly realizes that things aren't what they first seemed. Before he has a chance to change anything, he finds himself the victim of a sinister plot to teach a lesson to his generation. With the help of some unlikely allies, will he be able to save future generations, and himself, before it's too late? With witches, fairies, dragons, and more, there is plenty to confuse him and lead him astray but Jack must do his best to prevail if he wants to see his family and friends ever again.
