What is Hansel and Greta A Fairy Tale Revolution about?

Greta and her brother Hansel live beside a forest threatened by destruction. Determined to protect the trees, they plan to replant and restore the woodland. But their aunt, GreedyGuts, cares more about shopping, partying and luxurious living than nature. She decides to send the troublesome, vegetarian children deep into the forest. This lively retelling of Hansel and Gretel follows the siblings as they face danger, challenge greed and fight to save their home.
