After Piaâ??s grandmother dies in a freak accident, the neighbors in her little German hometown of Bad Münstereifel glance at Pia with wary eyes. But then something else captures the communityâ??s attention: the vanishing of Katharina Linden. Katharina was last seen at a parade, dressed as Snow White. Then, like a character in a Grimmâ??s fairy tale, she disappeared. Ten-year-old Pia and her only friend, the unpopular StinkStefan, suspect that Katharina has been spirited away by the supernatural. Their investigation is inspired by such local legends as that of Unshockable Hans, visited by witches in the form of cats, or of the knight whose son is doomed to hunt forever. Then another girl vanishes, and Pia is plunged into a new and unnerving place, one far away from fairy talesâ??and perilously close… (más)

A very enjoyable mystery story. ( )
  DominiqueMarie | Oct 22, 2023 |
This is one of the Alex winners from last year that actually stayed with me. I find myself thinking about this book far more often than I anticipated, even after first reading. I've read criticism of the author's age treatment of Pia-- namely that she felt overly naive and childish. That's actually one of the reasons I like this book. Pia isn't precocious, and Stephan is only slightly so. The tone matches that of fairy tales very well (far better than Book of Lost Things and others like it). The twist ending isn't so much the resolution of the central mystery, but rather Pia's eventual realization that the world isn't quite as she has crafted it for herself. No one has a permanent role.

suspense fiction. The 10-year-old German-English narrator reminds me of Fredrik Backman, but then the story gets kind of dark (sort of Patrick Ness) and then it gets plot twisty (like Agatha Christie?). ( )

Entertaining but the conclusion is a little unsatisfactory ( )

A little predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless. ( )

A single encounter with this remarkable novel is all that is needed for us to perform this juggling of perspective. Is the folkloric world of 10-year-old Pia's imagination – with its Brothers Grimm-style perceptions – the best way to approach the disappearance of Pia's friend Katharina, rather than more prosaic solutions? We are allowed – invited, even – to change our mind constantly about the protagonist....
