In a Glass Grimmly / Adam Gidwitz / 315 pages

This book is so much fun!  Gidwitz takes elements from fairy tales, folktales and Mother Goose and creates his own folktale style story.  It's full of blood, evil, giants, goblins, vomit, fire-breathing salamander, talking frog and a quest.  It's got a great message too about being con-fused about what you want and what you wish.  Good for a read aloud.  Great for a classroom writing project.  Just fun to read.  Recommended for grades 4-7.
