"Highly recommended for all who love fairy tales and the YA genre." ~ My Cozie Corner "All in all the books were excellent." ~ LilyElement "If you love fairy tales and them being turned into modern day stories you will love these short stories." ~ Mom With a Kindle 5 stars (out of 5) ~ I Am, Indeed Alice is a freaking awesome female character. I love the fact that she is a strong one. Literature today in the YA genre tends to let the girls fall by the side of the road and wait for some jerk in a Benz to come and save them. Not Alice. Or Grace for that matter. ~ Jesse Kimmel-Freeman "Isabella Fontaine and Ken Brosky's incredible talent for storytelling takes the reader on an amazing action-packed ride fueled by endless creativity and limitless imagination. TGC is like a high-stakes version of Harold and the Purple Crayon meets a contemporary, above ground Alice in Wonderland." ~ Bookfetish.org #9 BEST BOOKS OF 2012: The Bookies Blog COUNCIL FOR WISCONSIN WRITERS WINNER: The Tofte/Wright Children's Literature Award, honorable mention. 5,000 downloads and counting! We couldn't be happier. When we started this Young Adult series, we had only a few small goals. The first was to create a hero who used her brain to solve the problems she faced. Another was to make sure we had plenty of weird, imaginative monsters. Last, and most importantly, we wanted a new episode in the series to come out every two months. With Kindle (and the help of Brew City Press), we had the opportunity to do that. And now, thanks to all of the fantastic support, we can offer a print edition of the first three books in the series. We're excited. The reviews are great. The feedback is great. And the story is just getting started ... What people are saying about The Grimm Chronicles : " A major plus about these stories is that Alice is a smart, strong, and resilient protagonist who does not just extract herself from sticky situations through sheer brute force, but by also using her brain. I think it was a rollicking good read, which drew me in and kept my interest until the end of the book. I am looking forward to following Alice through the rest of her story in the chronicles to come." -- La Revenant, The Book Tart "This book was so much fun. Don't get me wrong, it's very intense and sometimes I was a bit scared (cough) but I just absolutely love fairytales- and it was extremely fun reading about the original Grimm ones instead of the happy ending ones we know today! Alice was a great protagonist and I found myself getting very attached to her. She was strong and independent and a serious kick-ass kind of girl!" -- Cheerful Book Reviews "I highly recommend these lovely and inspiring stories." --Mallory Heart Reviews "Looking for a good book with a strong, positive heroine? Love the Brothers Grimm and want a new take on their characters? Just want to read a good fantasy novel? Then look no further, this is the book for you." -- Sharing Links and Wisdom "These stories may be longer than the average fairy tales we're used to, but they are a good mix of fun, humor, adventure and exciting coming of age." -- Literature Young Adult Fiction "Alice is sassy, smart and strong and I loved her character. Briar is kind and comical and makes the perfect sidekick and helper for Alice. The first three volumes in this book move quickly and there's not a lot of fluff or wasted words ... I'm very excited to see the next volumes of this story and I can't wait to see what comes next!!" --Jenn's Review Blog "I really enjoyed the main character, Alice Goodenough (not a big fan of the name - reminded me of the ballet dancer Alex
