About this listen

Strange and terrifying things are suddenly happening in a mysterious town where people are disappearing and changing into characters from the Grimm fairy tales.

Twins Willow and Jake Grimm are not prepared for the bizarre gadgets and scary changes in their new home of New Marburg, the location of the top-secret Think Tank where their parents now have jobs as scientists. In this town, people jetpack to work, robots direct traffic, and senior citizens duel with laser swords.

Yet nothing compares to what happens the day after lightning strikes the twins’ house. Their school building transforms around them, becoming a medieval castle—complete with moat, drawbridge, and a dangerous giant who looks strangely like the school’s overly aggressive hall monitor.

Barely managing to escape before a massive beanstalk lifts the castle above the clouds, Willow and Jake learn that their ancestors, the original Brothers Grimm, were more than storytellers. They were Grimmwalkers, able to travel from our universe to Grimmworld: the universe where all fairy tales are born.

Somehow, Willow and Jake have been transported to Grimmworld as well. But before the twins can figure out how to get back to their own universe, they discover that their best friends, Hank and Pearl, have morphed into the fairy tale characters Hansel and Gretel and been captured by a candy-obsessed witch deep in the Cursed Forest.

Now, aided by a mysterious wizard with shimmering golden eyes and a befuddled, talking naked mole-rat named Chet, the twins must trust in each other, believe in themselves, and find the courage to face their darkest fears in order to save their friends, return to their family, and maybe—just maybe—save the world.

Great and fast read!

Fast and fun, sure to keep the attention of kids reading. Tavia did a wonderful job interpreting Michaelbrent's quick and quirky performance in her read of the novel. A great starting point into what promises to be an even greater universe!

Incredible.

What a truly amazing story. Best play on Grimm tales I have ever read. Well written by the author and performed perfectly by the narrator. Looking forward to the next in the series.

A lovely new fairytale with several nods to the classics.

I enjoyed this lighthearted adventure. It makes you feel like a kid again, with an imaginative story full of mystery, danger, hope and bravery. Lots of interesting characters and several references to pop culture and classic stories make this a truly contemporary tale, and I look forward to more. The audiobook is voiced by Tavia Gilbert, whose animated style lends itself perfectly to this genre. It is a very enjoyable book indeed.

Its a really fun read and a new take on fairy tale

I applaud every time an author finds a creative niche in the fantasy world. I really like that it blends both sci-fi and fantasy. Good read and I look forward to the next book in the series. It is a little unbelievable that the protagonists can accomplish what they do at that age. I did have to suspend my unbelief for that but it wasn't too hard since the story was so good.
