Hazel and Grey by Nic Stone
An updated
version of Hansel and Gretel – wherein the children are teenagers in
love. Grey is a guy who’s always been seen as just another black kid,
destined for the big house. But he wants to do better. He wants to
use his street smarts to keep himself, and his love, Hazel safe. He hates
the man who ran out on his mother. Hazel hates her stepfather. They
try to run away to spend one night together. But they get lost in the
woods and when they find a house, there’s a big party going on there.
Hazel is drugged and trapped in a room, so Grey acts like he was there to sell
her. In the end the find the proprietor is none other than the same man
who abused Grey and has had his eye on his step-daughter. They manage to
cause a ruckus and attract the cops, who arrest the pedophile and free up the
kids they were pimping.
