I always enjoy when an author cleverly manages to retell some of my favorite childhood fairytales. In a Glass Grimmly offers a story where the fairytales are not only retold - they are creatively reinvented in a fresh, slightly creepy and definitely fun manner by Adam Gidwitz. Though definitely directed towards a younger audience, I firmly believe that this book can be just as entertaining for the older crowd, especially those of you who are like me and love fairytales.This book is extremely hilarious to me, mostly because of Adam's writing style. Adam writes with a sense of humor that's both intelligent and relatable. I love how he would often step back from the actual events of the story to give a running commentary or a warning or even just his two cents - sometimes, those were the best parts on the page! Honestly, while reading In a Glass Grimmly, I was smiling or laughing at least 70% of the time.
And I love that he chose Jack and Jill to be his main characters. Because Jack and Jill are merely characters in an nursery rhyme that lasts for only a few lines, we only really get to hear about one incident in their lives (when they fall down the hill). I love how Adam's ingenuity shown as he chose them to headline this story. It was an interesting choice, and I'd personally consider it the correct one - since we don't know much about these two, there's so much left open to interpretation and imagination and Adam definitely makes use of that space. He believably weaves them into stories based on other fairytales and allows them to meet and interact with other fairytale folk.
There's so much fun to be had in this book, because Jack and Jill go an incredible adventure - they meet giants and mermaids and goblins and more! I felt like a kid while I was reading it, and I was completely entertained and enchanted by everything that went on (even if most of it was surprisingly not-so-happy-and-fluffy).
As with all fairytales, Jack's story and Jill's story is meant to teach the reader a lesson. In a Glass Grimmly effectively brings Jack and Jill, and all the other characters we meet, to the right resolution for them. When I reached the very end of the book, I felt like it was absolutely the right time to see "The End" grace the page.
In a Glass Grimmly is sassy, funny, intelligent and just a lot of fun. Adam Gidwitz sure knows how to tell a story! He's crafted this one in the pattern of many other fairytales gone before it, while also putting his own spin on things. I think this is a book that younger readers will love, but older readers will definitely have fun reading it too! I highly recommend In a Glass Grimmly, especially if you're looking for something amusing and clever.

In a Glass Grimmly A Tale Dark Grimm Book 2 edition by Adam Gidwitz Dan Santat Children eBooks Reviews
... is how I felt after diving into this companion novel for A Tale Dark and Grimm. Jack and Jill take us on yet another adventure through many of the stories we all know and love. Yet, there is such an originality to each tale it's wonderful! And just like the true purpose of fairytales, there is a moral to walk away with in each story, but you don't feel preached to.
Great!
12 year old grandson loved the series
A favorite of my 4th grader who is not a fan of reading, but loves these stories
Second in a series - you cannot go wrong with reading this wonderful series to your children aged 7 and older. While there are some frightening descriptions and lots of bloody scenes, the Narrator's interjections keep the scary bits light and entertaining. The sentence structure and vocabulary are straight from Grammar/Vocab Heaven; we found it wonderful to explain what a word meant and then try to use it in regular conversations. This was not an easy job with words such as craggy and perspicacity!
Adam Gidwitz is fantastic, in a not for the faint of heart way. His books do not flinch away from (they actively seek out, I suppose) violence, grossness, bad smells, and terrifying evil. For this reason the heroes are truly heroic, in a way that makes you cheer for them and fear for them. I got hooked (sure, and so did my kids) with the Inquisitor's Tale. It sent me searching for more. While the Inquisitor's is my favorite, the Grimm series does not disappoint.
This book was so great that I read it twice. All of those treacherous there I just have one wish,that wish is that you read a tale dark as he grim and in a grass and grimly
