"Delicious." -Kirkus Reviews
"Wicked fun." -The Horn Book Magazine
Deep in the forest lives a witch named Willow. She is a good witch who only uses good magic--until she meets Hansel and Gretel.
Willow never used to worry about messy bread crumb trails. Or entire portions of her gingerbread house being devoured. Or anyone fiddling with her spells and magic books and causing a ruckus. But Hansel and Gretel are two very naughty and very rude children, and they are trying Willow's patience.
This subversive retelling of Hansel and Gretel from Bethan Woollvin, award-winning creator of Little Red and Rapunzel, features striking and humorous visuals and a deliciously wicked twist ending that is sure to surprise and delight.
