Review Quotes: SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL -- Gr 4-6 -Twins Hansel and Gretel return home from a camping trip to find their parents missing and lots of weird stuff happening in their home. It turns out that their parents are monster hunters who have been secretly keeping the local cryptofauna at bay, and now it's up to the kids to face down the monsters and rescue their parents. The candy-colored palette and stream of wisecracks from the bickering siblings help keep this action-filled story from getting too intense.
