Description
When twins Willow and Jake Grimm move to the isolated town where their parents work for a top-secret Think Tank, they are amazed to discover a place where people jetpack to work, robots direct traffic, and senior citizens battle with lightning-swords.
But after a freak lightning storm, which transforms the twins' school into a medieval castle--complete with a moat, drawbridge, and a giant who looks strangely like the school's overly aggressive hall monitor--the twins discover the truth: just like their ancestors, the original Brothers Grimm, Willow ad Jake are Grimmwalkers. And just like their ancestors, they have been transported to the place where all fairy tales are born. The most dangerous place in existence: Grimmworld.
But before the twins can figure out how to get home, they learn their best friends have been transformed into the fairy tale characters Hansel and Gretel and have been imprisoned by a candy-obsessed wicked witch.
Now, aided only by their wits, their courage, and their love for each other, the twins must venture deep into the Cursed Forest to save themselves and their friends. And maybe--just maybe--save the universe from falling into the clutches of the witch in the woods.

Reviews
"In Michaelbrent Collings's inventive fantasy novel The Witch in the Woods, twins who are descendants of the Grimm brothers navigate a new reality when theirs collides with a fairy-tale world. ... Willow and Jake are effective heroes because they see the best in each other, navigating the woods and rescuing their friends through the powers of cunning and love. Every challenge they face has a real-world corollary. But they also change the course of a fairy tale in Grimmworld--an unprecedented occurrence."-- "Foreword Reviews"
"A fairy-tale mash-up for diehard Grimm fans."-- "Kirkus"
"Utilizing suspenseful, sometimes frightening, elements, familiar fantasy tropes, fun and whimsical worldbuilding, and characters from the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, Collings (Light-Years from Home) crafts a fresh fantasy series opener with a multiverse spin."-- "Publishers Weekly"
