  The troublemaking students of Ms. Jenkins' class arrive at school one day to discover a substitute creacher has come to put a stop to their monkey business! He regales them with mind-boggling stories about his former students who didn't follow the rules: Keith the glue-eater, Zach the daydreamer, and Hank the prankster, to name a few. But even this multi-tentacled, yellow-spotted, one-eyed monster's cautionary tales about the consequences of mischief-making can't seem to change the students' wicked ways until he reveals the spookiest and most surprising story of all: his own. 
  Chris Gall's vibrant artwork leaps off the page with a dynamic comic book aesthetic that will grab both parents and monster-loving kids!

  Though they seem familiar and even comforting with their warm reminders of youth, the true roots of many fairy tales are sprouted from darker soil. The original versions of some of the tales are far more sinister than we imagine. Even those we know and love, when examined in the cold light of day, run with a malevolent undercurrent of violence, menace and terror.Yet when we encounter someone who says they like fairy tales, we expect a certain type of person. A certain type of girl. We’d rather have the clean, sanitised version, both of the stories and their readers. Unfortunately, the thin veneer that separates us from the darkness beneath, sometimes comes away and sometimes what we find lingering under the surface, is far from a happy ending.
