Far, Far Away
Far, Far Away by Tom McNeal is a dark fairy tale-style YA novel narrated by the ghost of Jacob Grimm. It follows Jeremy Johnson Johnson and his friend Ginger in a small town where a sinister baker hides dangerous secrets. The book blends eerie atmosphere, small-town realism, and fairy-tale echoes in a slow-building story. It’s best for teens who enjoy Gothic vibes, character-driven plots, and a touch of horror. Themes and scenes can be intense for younger readers, so it’s not a middle-grade pick. Parents might choose to read it alongside their teen to discuss its darker elements and storytelling choices.
