Entertaining for the whole family This series of Sisters Grimm books by Michael Buckley has characters familiar to adult readers and to many kids, too. The characters come from fairy tales and from other children's literature, with this author's own spin on them. The books are as entertaining for an adult to read as for a child. My nine year-old and I both read them very quickly and did not want to put them down. We also enjoyed the Harry Potter series, but after reading these books find the Potter books to be much longer and wordier than these. These are quick reads, yet have a lot of action in few pages. We definitely recommend them.
Highly entertaining My girls, 8 and 10, thoroughly enjoyed this book. They are always begging for 'just a little bit more' every time we have to put the book down. They love making the connections to the fairy tale characters that they are familiar with from other stories.
The Best of Sisters Grimm EVER! The second book in this thrilling fantasy series introducing Sabrina and Daphne's school, filled with strange mysteries. Tantilizing secrets about characters are revealed, an evil plot is discovered, and Sabrina and Daphne, as the fairy tale detectives, must find out what's going on! This fast-moving, magical, epic tale will keep you on the edge of your seat!
Enjoyable and clever I've enjoyed reading "The Sisters Grimm", and recommend it. I particularly appreciate the "Wizard of Oz" references.
One section had me laughing out loud, an unusual occurance (outside of a Stephanie Plum novel). Even today, two weeks later, I still smile thinking about it. Without revealing anything, I'll just refer to the ink "drawing". ...get the series, and read it!
A neat book Reviewed by Nicholas Pettrone (age 9) for Reader Views (7/07)
This is a neat book about these two sisters, Sabrina and Daphne Grimm, who after their parents disappear, are sent to their grandmother's house to live. They aren't living in a normal town though because the town they live in is full of everafters, storybook people who are trying to live a normal life. There is Snow White who teaches in the grade school, Mr. Hamlin, the principal who is really the pied piper of Hamlin, Prince Charming who is the mayor, and believe it or not, there is even a boy named Puck, who is sort of an ornery fairy, causing trouble with the two sisters.
Sabrina and Daphne try to get their parents back, but run into one problem after another. Finally they think they have it all figured out and are going to grab their mom and dad and run when it happens -- they meet face to face with the person who grabbed their parents. It is a girl in a red cape with a hood and a nasty smirk on her face. If that isn't bad enough, the book ends here and we never do find out if they are going to save their parents.
I liked "The Sisters Grimm Book 2," and how the author put in all the cool storybook characters. I did wish though that we would hear more about Mr. Hamlin than we did, but since the book was good, it really didn't matter in the end. This was a cool book and one that would be neat read out loud in the classroom. I am taking my book to school next year to share. It's too good to keep all to myself!
