(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Yoko Tanaka. "I love children. Eating them, that is," begins this contemporary "Hansel and Gretel" refashioning. Sol, eleven, and Connie, eight, have just moved to Schoneberg with their father and stepmother. The story of these resourceful siblings who escape the clutches of the crone next door (her journal entries are interspersed within the main text) has both humor and suspense. Black-and-white illustrations add atmosphere.
