<i>A tremendous whooshing noise started up. </i><i>It sounded like a million pages being riffled at once. </i><i>I caught a strong whiff of gingerbread. Then </i>The Complete Fairytales of the Brothers Grimm<i> flew open and a human-shaped blur </i><i>came shooting out …</i><br/> <br/>Basil Beedon and Terry Clegg are neighbours, 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 <i>The Complete Fairytales of the Brothers Grimm</i>. 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.<br/> <br/>Witty, clever, with adventure at every turn, this is a fractured fairytale in a very surprising, Grimm world.
