Losing the Plot
From the Series Losing the Plot
A tremendous whooshing noise started up. It sounded like a million pages being riffled at once. I caught a strong whiff of gingerbread. Then The Complete Fairytales of the Brothers Grimm flew open and a human-shaped blur came shooting out . . .
Basil Beedon and Terry Clegg are neighbors, and that’s all they have in common. Terry loves sport and Basil loves books—but to Basil’s absolute dismay, he’s been roped into helping Terry with his reading. Every. Single. Saturday. However, that’s the least of his worries when Gretel comes shooting out of The Complete Fairytales of the Brothers Grimm. The boys are plunged into a dangerous world run by the Fairytale Alliance Network of Character Yunions (FANCY), where not everyone is what they seem, Hansel has been kidnapped, and a plot hole threatens to destroy everything.
Witty, clever, with adventure at every turn, this is a fractured fairytale in a very surprising, Grimm world.

“Exciting, clever, and dynamic, this stands out from other retellings by asking, What happens to the fairy-tale characters after you’ve closed the book?”—Booklist
