Missed You!

   Today's Book series: The Sisters Grimm. 

Hi everybody! Sorry for taking so long getting back to you. Its been a busy week. So anyway, The Sisters Grimm is written by Michael Buckley and is one of my oldest favorites. The plot is similar to that of the popular book series, The Land of Stories,(Which I plan on writing about later) but is not as well known. There are however, significant differences.

    The Sisters Grimm starts off when, in the first book, The Fairy -Tale Detectives, two sisters,Sabrina and Daphne Grimm, are sent to live with a grandmother they didn't know they had. Since the mysterious disappearance of their parents,Sabrina and Daphne have been bounced from one foster care family to the next, have run away every time. When they are taken to their grandmother`s house in the small town or Ferryport Landing, the sisters receive the unbelievable news that they are the descendants of Wilhelm Grimm, one of the brothers Grimm. Relda Grimm,(their grandmother)also claims that Ferryport Landing is the home (or prison) to countless fairy-tale characters who are trapped in the town thanks to a magical barrier first put up by Wilhelm. 

   The sisters are told that, as Grimms, it is their duty to serve these "Everafters"(as they call themselves,) and the best way to do that is by solving the mysteries that constantly pop up. At first, Sabrina is skeptical,(the books are written from her perspective) but after she witnesses a series of impossible events, she has no choice but to believe the incredible things she had been told.

    The overall summary of the book series is that the two girls go on to solve many different mysteries, and meet a number of wonderful      

characters such as the fairy Puck(The Trickster King),Mr.Canis (The Big Bad Wolf), Mayor Charming, (Prince Charming), and countless others, while learning that who you thought was the good or bad guy,  can quickly change. 

   Buckley has written these books well,as they are absolutely hilarious, and have unpredictable twists and turns, as any good mystery should. All nine books are whimsical and wonderful, and I would recommend The Sisters Grimm for anybody who is looking for a twist on classic fairy-tales.       

   Goodbye!
