Chapter Summaries & Analyses
The next day, Alex and Conner arrive outside the wall surrounding the Red Riding Hood Kingdom. After walking for hours, they still haven’t found a gate, and Conner decides to climb a tree and hop over the wall. Alex begs him not to, but Conner jumps, misses the wall, and falls over the other side. Alex scrambles up the tree and finds Conner lying atop a big pile of hay. She joins him, and they enter the kingdom. They pass through the Bo Peep family farms before reaching the only town, where they find Red Riding Hood’s castle and Jack’s beanstalk.
At the base of the beanstalk, they meet Jack, who says little before storming into his workshop and slamming the door. The golden harp opens a window in Jack’s house, and the twins strike up a conversation with her. The harp tells them to go with Jack to the castle later. Every week Jack delivers a basket to the castle and Red Riding Hood proposes to him, but he turns her down. Jack’s heart belongs to someone else, but the harp doesn’t know who.
Jack, Alex, and Conner go to the castle, which seems like a condensed version of Cinderella’s palace.
