This story sigh....was magical and heart warming and might I add I definitely got teary eyed at the end. This was a great companion to Adam Gidwitz's first book A Tale Dark and Grimm.This story is about Jack and Jill. Now we have all read the story's and nursery rhymes. There is Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack Be Nimble. There's Jill to counter Jack, in Jack and Jill. Let's start with the first book A Tale Dark and Grimm. In that book, the main characters were Hansel and Gretel. The book didn't start off with the wicked step-mother taking them into the dark woods and leaving them there to die. Nope. The book started off with the parents. How the King met his Queen and had two beautiful children.As in that book, this book starts off with a bratty selfish princess, a ball and a frog. If you read a lot of fairy-tales and nursery rhymes you will know right away what the beginning of this book is about. The story goes from there. Well, that princess grew up and became a Queen and had a daughter and named her Jill. Jack on the other hand, is her cousin who lives in the village outside of the castle.This story is about their great adventure to find a seeing glass. A lost and magical seeing glass. It's about bravery, and wit, and over all the love of oneself."To find what ye seek, look no further."In other words, if you have all seen Kung Fu Panda...."There is no secret ingredient" After reading 11 pages of In a Glass Grimmly by Adam Gidwitz, I chose to read it for my second book report. I chose to read it for for my book report because I really like fairy tales and fantasy stories. Another reason I chose to read this book was because I really like fairy tales and fantasy stories. Lastly, I thought it would be a really action filled book, because that's what my friend said during his book report. Because of these reasons, I rated the book 5 stars. However, this could change if I were to read the book in it's entirety.
