I’ve just finished this week’s reading! I have to admit, as a kid I never realised how dark the whole story of Hansel and Gretel is…

I enjoyed the overall story and of course the deduction was fun and very creative - I like how the fairytale elements are used in this book. Hansel is a truly creepy villain. But I will say the evidence is a bit contrived in the end, so that was a little disappointing! What a random thing to do, have a bear move the entire house just in case Hansel makes a slip about the cellar…

Haven’t finished yet, but Hänsel is giving me major creeps. Is he abusing his 8 year old sister? :scream: I feel that’s too dark for this, so probably not, but the scene just now made it seem like he does…

I think he did, unfortunately. Caught me really off guard tbh. :frowning:
