Publisher Description

Two anxious young lovers lost in the woods. A beckoning mansion in a dark clearing. A short modern-day retelling of Hansel and Gretel by the number one New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin.

It's bad enough that Hazel and Gray have defied the demands of Hazel's foul stepfather. The Monster has forbidden their romance. Now they've awakened in the forest, phones dead, hours past curfew. But not far away is a grand estate in the middle of nowhere. The door is open.

In this short story about choosing your own path, the fury of the Monster that awaits them back home may be nothing compared to what lies ahead.

Hazel and Gray is part of Faraway, a collection of retold fairy tales that take the happily-ever-after in daring new directions. Whether read or listened to in one sitting, prepare to be charmed, moved, enlightened, and frightened all over again.
