About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child is wrestling with the concept of reputation and whether a person is defined by their worst mistakes. It is an ideal choice for the middle-grade reader who is starting to see the world in shades of gray rather than simple black and white. While the story is a fast-paced fantasy mystery, its heart lies in a courtroom drama where the Big Bad Wolf stands trial for his legendary crimes. As the Grimm sisters investigate the truth behind the fairy tales, they face a complex moral dilemma: Can someone who has done bad things truly change? The book balances high-stakes suspense and humor with deep questions about justice, loyalty, and the fear of the 'monster' within. It is perfect for children aged 8 to 12 who enjoy reimagined folklore and are ready for a story that treats their emotional intelligence with respect.
