The Forest Grimm by Kathryn Purdie
The protagonist wants to win a lottery to be able to go into the forest to find her mother. However, somebody else wins. She uses her map to help him. As they travel, they find various people from their town that have lost their mind and live like fairy tale characters. For instance, somebody is Rapunzel and tries to trap them with hair. There is a ghost boy they go along with and same scary encounters with others such as Hansel and Gretel. They eventually find mother in fairy tale form and do actions to save themselves. It has all the typical modern young adult fantasy values and tropes, but is a bit better than typical books in the genre.
