In this first installment of The Sisters Grimm Series, author Michael Buckley introduces us to two sisters, Sabrina and Daphne, who have been sent to live with their mysterious grandmother, Relda Grimm in Ferryport Landing. Soon Daphne and Sabrina learn that they are the descendants of the Brothers Grimm, the famous sibling authors who wrote many of the fairy tales we know today like “Little Red Riding Hood” and “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.” Actually, Grimms’ book of fairy tales turns out to be a history book and case file of mysteries! The Three Little Pigs, the Big Bad Wolf, and Prince Charming are all alive and well; neighbors of Grandma Relda. They like to be called “Everafters” or magical folk. Sabrina and Daphne become detectives who must solve crimes that happen in Ferryport Landing. In this installment, someone has let a giant on the loose around town and it’s up to the sisters to stop him and find the Everafter who is guilty of its rampage. Could it be Jack (from Jack and the Beanstalk) who now works at the Big & Tall Store? Or, Mayor Charming who, as a prince, may want his kingdom back? Buckley reimagines traditional fairy tales into a fun and modern series guaranteed to entertain. If you like this first book, there are 5 more after it!
