Beanstalker and Other Hilarious Scarytales by Kiersten White

4.0

Highly amusing darkly twisted fairy tales for middle grade readers. Readers are led through several fairy tales where the villains may be good, the previously thought of 'good' children may possibly be monstrous, and word usage is very important. Each chapter is a new story but parts carry though the whole book. Dark twists and turns keep readers on their toes.
Good for readers looking for dark and scary but not overly scary. I am wondering if younger readers will pick up on all of the jokes, but either way they should be amused.
Good for ages 9 and up.
