Publisher's Synopsis
For the first time, the award-winning Hazy Fables middle-grade trilogy is available in a gorgeous slipcase box set.
Each book in this topical and hilarious anthology series adapts a well-known narrative (Snow White, Hamlet and The Maltese Falcon, respectively), adds a modern and monster-centric spin, and infuses the story with humor and lessons of empathy, inclusivity and advocacy. At a discount off the cover price, this giftable box set includes paperback versions of each of the three acclaimed Hazy Fables titles:
Hobgoblin and the Seven Stinkers of Rancidia: Hazy Fables #1
Set in the faraway (and terrible-smelling) land of Rancidia, where it's good to smell bad and bad to smell good, this pungent parody of Snow White follows the adventures of a profoundly stinky Hobgoblin as he flees the jealous wrath of a monstrous, democracy-hating ogre tyrant named Fiddlefart.
Zombie, Or Not to Be: Hazy Fables #2
This brainy middle-grade adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet follows a young science-minded zombie named Edda as she deals with a series of death-altering problems including a climate crisis caused by the anti-science humans in Ignorway, the disappearance of her mom, and the greedy scheming of her villainous Aunt Agonista.
Krampus Confidential: Hazy Fables #3
In this hardboiled parody of Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon, Ruprecht, a twelve-year-old krampus and wannabe detective, gets more than he bargained for when he takes the case of a terrified elf. Finding himself at the top of the Tinseltown Police Department's naughty list, Ruprecht is joined by his best friend, a ghost named Marley, to explore the underbelly of this festive but gritty metropolis, solve the mystery, and clear his name for good.
