far far away

Once upon a time, there was a lonely boy, a headstrong girl and and ancient ghost. Then something bad happens  and someone must be saved. Will they live happily ever after? Jeremy Johnson Johnson is a strange boy in a town called Never Better. He hears voices. His father won't leave the house. They run a bookstore with only 1 book in it. He doesn't have any friends. Ginger is a free spirited trouble maker. She takes a bite of magical cake and falls for Jeremy. His ghostly friend, who happens to be Jacob Grimm, one of the Grimm brothers of fairy tale fame, thinks she's trouble. He is trying to protect Jeremy from the Finder of Occasions who is out to do harm to Jeremy. Only one problem, Jacob doesn't know who it is. As Jeremy and Ginger try to navigate a judgmental town, they are driven to befriend the town baker. Big mistake. When they find themselves locked in the baker's dungeon, they must figure out a way to survive and Jacob must face down his own past to save him. As Grimm fairy tales go, you can't always expect a happy ending. Sometimes the good guys lose and the monsters live happily ever after. This was a lovely book with an enchanting ghost that had me shedding a tear at the end. Happy ever after reading my friends and avoid the bakery if you see the green smoke. Just sayin' !
