Just like the rest of the series, it's absolutely amazing. This is actually my favorite out of the entire series so far.

I really love this book I am a huge fan of the whatever after series. I highly recommend the whole series for girls 8 to 12. It makes you think what is going to happen next! Are they going to make it home! It is just a lovely modern version of the famous classical fairy tales. I t makes you see how a ten year old girI is passionate about fairy tales ( and becoming a judge she mention it all the time) and goes down with her younger brother and makes the ending better than it was.( Especially when she went for a visit to the little mermaid.) Read every book! Amazing job! I finished it in a day.( As usual.) I am a total bookworm

My grandsons ages 6 and 9 in MA really enjoyed my reading this book to them and they have enjoyed all of the books in the series. It's a take of of the Hansel and Gretel There was a bit that was rather tense, but there were a number of unusual twists and turns including when Hansel and Gretel end up in Abby and Jonah's home for a day.
It was one the boys favorite books in this series...and Abby learns a lot about others who have so little and she and her brother having so much more than other people, a good lesson for many readers.

I really liked this book because the main character learns to stand on her own. She didn't have any help and still managed to succeed. This is a good book and I really enjoyed reading it.
