Hello! Today I’m
reviewing a middle grade book I read last year (I’m really behind schedule with
my reviews TTwTT).
Beanstalker and Other Hilarious Scarytales is a humorous retelling
of popular fairytales, the
first middle grade book written by Kiersten White.
It mashes several fairytales with an unexpected and dark twist, but if I had to
say the plot I would say it is about a step mother, who seems to be the step
mother of half kingdom, this stepmother is not bad, she tries to help her
stepchildren, but they are all a bunch of weirdos that do crazy stuff and are constantly
in trouble.

The tales in this book are mainly Snow White, Jack and the
beanstalk, red riding hood, the princes and the pea, Goldilocks, Cinderella,
and Rapunzel.
The book is physically beautiful, the hardback is green and the
book has really lovely illustrations to accompany the story. I’ve had the
chance of meeting Kiersten White and I could clearly hear her voice in my head
while reading this, she is a really funny person during events, and her
particular sense of humor is present all the time in this book.
