I am a 10 year old kid and i read Into The Woods, i thought it was creative but it still had some ideas from the well known Brothers Grimm Fairy tales. It was sad but also really funny and adventurous! But when i put it onto genres i would probably be adding it to the suspense genre. I do think it should be an award winner though.
