A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz
Hansel and Gretel walk out of their own story and into eight other classic Grimm (and Grimm-inspired) fairy tales. An irreverent, witty narrator leads us through encounters with witches, warlocks, dragons, and the devil himself. As the siblings roam a forest brimming with menacing foes, they learn the true story behind the famous tales, as well as how to take charge of their destinies and create their own happily ever after. Because once upon a time, fairy tales were awesome.

This story is one of the best hiding under the blanket in the dark Grimm stories, but not as intense as the regular Grimm stories. The author does a great way of introducing Hansel and Gretel into to the other stories besides their own.
