A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz

What character(s) in this book would you most and least like to be friends with, and why?
I loved a tale dark and Grimm. I'd heard so many great things about it, but it just didn't look very good. One of my friends from sleep away camp convinced me to read it, and it turns out it's a really great book! It's a very complicated story about Hansel and Gretel running away from their house, and trying to find new parents. The narrator is hilarious, and I thought it was an amazing book. There were many characters in this book, but I know for a fact, that if I was living in their world, I know Gretel would be my best friend. We're almost twins! We're both adventurous, risk taking, nice... but I know if I lived in their world, I would also have a bunch of enemies. For 1, my dad, the kind, who executed his own child. Never in a million year, should a parent kill their child, even if it's for a "good" reason.
