Funny, suspenseful, and fast-paced, The Sisters Grimm continues to charm readers with its outrageous take on familiar fairy tales.
In Ferryport Landing everyone gets a day in court—even the Big Bad Wolf, a.k.a. Mr. Canis. When Canis is put on trial for past crimes, Mayor Heart’s kangaroo court is determined to find him guilty. It’s up to the Grimms to uncover evidence to save their friend, though Sabrina starts to wonder whether they would all be safer with the Wolf in jail. Despite her misgivings, Sabrina and her sister, Daphne, investigate what actually happened in the Big Bad Wolf’s most famous tale—and the real story is full of surprises!
I want more... ^ The Sisters Grimm series is the best yet for kids. As a parent I read the books along with (or before)my daughter so we could have a discussion point. I could not put it down and I'm anxiously waiting for the next book in the series to be published. I did not know what to expect, but loved every plot twist and fairytale hero or villain in the series. Grandma Grimm and her fiesty sidekicks (Daphne and Sabrina) lead you through many adventures in Tales from the Hood. But don't stop there if this is your first book, go back to Book 1.
Ella adores these books! ^ Our 11-year old is a big reader and had somehow missed The Sisters Grimm books until recently. When a friend loaned her the first book she was hooked. She zoomed through all the available books and especially enjoyed Book Six: Tales from the Hood. We're spending quite a bit of time talking about the original fairy tale characters vs. the way they are depicted in Sister Grimm books.
Ella is waiting with bated breath for the next book in the series - but a bit worried that a movie won't live up to her idea of the imagined world featured in this series.
Great start ot the series ^ If you haven't read this series and are into mysteries with some connections to fairy tales you know, then this is the series for you. Michael Buckley combines fairy tale lore from different countries and ties them into a detective series. He is descriptive and my 4th graders love these books. There is a waiting list at our school library for these books.
Still fun, but interminable ^ My eight year old granddaughter has been enjoying this series. I read to her at bedtime and she keeps asking for the Sisters. The story and writing have stayed good and readable through the series. The characters are engaging, the premise is clever, and the cliffhanger style is an excellent ploy to sell more books. Nevertheless, I'm really looking forward to the exciting conclusion. Maybe I can find something without talking animals.
From a Big Bad Wolf fan... ^ This latest instalment of the Sister Grimm Series is yet one more of Michael Buckle's hits. Who would have thought that the long arm of justice would ever be able to reach the big bad wolf?. The Wolf is in jail; he will be held accountable for crimes done 600 years ago... will the Sisters Grimm be able to prove him innocent and get him out of jail? should they get him out of jail at all? New characters show up making the story even funnier and making you wonder at the seemingly endless imagination of their author... The Sister Grtimm Series has become one of the most beloved series in my house. They are full of extremely funny, clean humor for all ages. I highly recommend them. Kids and adults will enjoy them equally.
