Losing the Plot

(3) 4-6 Basil, a bookworm, and Terry, a sports fanatic, are reluctantly paired up, only to be pulled into a chaotic version of "Hansel and Gretel" through a mysterious Grimm fairy-tale book. To save the story -- and themselves -- they must help Gretel find her missing brother without disrupting the plot. Featuring sharp wordplay, quirky humor, and a fairy-tale world run by unionized characters, this fast-paced middle-grade novel will delight readers who enjoy magical mischief and unexpected friendships.
