In the book, Jessie, Evan's younger sister, gets moved up a grade and is now in her older brother's grade. When the class list co...

This book was amazing! Adam Gidwitz did an amazing job capturing my attention to this book and plot line. The book is a retelling of Hansel and Gretel, but more of the real, Grimm brother's way.

Nanny Piggins and The Wicked Plan

I really like this book & author. I have already read "The Adventures of Nanny Piggins". It is especially funny when Nanny Piggins tries to dig all the way to China, ends up in a jail cell, and thinks it's China! Like I said, it's a really good book.
