Product Description: A mystery story with a monstrous twist
In book three of the series, Sabrina and Daphne Grimm tackle their most important mystery: Who kidnapped their parents more than a year ago? Sabrina enters the hideout of the Scarlet Hand, the sinister group of Everafters who are keeping her parents prisoner. She has a chance to rescue her mom and dad but is foiled by the most famous fairy-tale character in the world. With the help of her little sister (who might be tougher than Sabrina realizes) and a long-lost relative, Sabrina finds a powerful weapon for fighting her enemies, and discovers that magic has a high price.
The Problem Child I love The Sisters Grimm series but I like the way he describes everything as if you were really there, take when they were in the diner, you could actually see the celing ripped off to uncovering this huge head of a "Jabberwocky" and it's "psycotic" owner.And the tension that he puts into his choice of words.If you havn't read this series I think you should!
ENTERTAINING! I am 4th grader. I started reading The Sisters Grimm when I was 8 years old in 3rd grade. It was scary at the end and exciting through the whole thing. Sabrina and Daphne live in Ferry Port Landing where fairy tale characters are real. They live with the big bad wolf. The sheriff is one of the three (not so little) pigs. Daphne's teacher is Snow White.
The girls' parents have been kidnapped by the Scarlet Hand. The story tells about the girls' adventures as they try to find their parents. I recommend it.
Another delightful addition to this series (Available in hardcover and paperback)
Sabrina and Daphne Grimm have had several narrow escapes from the evil organization, The Scarlet Hand, that is holding their parents hostage. The girls are hot on the trail of the organization when they meet Uncle Jake (another relative they didn't know they had). It seems Ferryport Landing residents don't remember him either. That's because Granny Relda made sure (with a little help from magic) everyone would forget him after he inadvertently was involved in an insane Little Red Riding Hood escaping from the asylum with a Jabberwocky.
If Sabrina and Daphne are to rescue their parents, they must rely on help from Uncle Jake and even Puck (who drives the girls crazy most of the time). But things get a little muddled when it is discovered that Little Red Riding Hood is bent on recreating her own lost family. That means that Grandma Relda and the family dog, Elvis, are in peril.
The novel is filled with appearances by many favorite fairy-tale characters. Prince Charming and the Queen of Hearts compete in a mayoral election; Snow White is angry with her former love; Canis (The Big Bad Wolf) may have met an unfortunate end; and Rip Van Winkle will make you smile. As for the other cameo appearances, you'll have to read the book to meet them.
And of course, questions are left unanswered for the next installment of The Sisters Grimm. Will Puck get to Faerie in time? Will Sabrina and Daphne's parents wake up from their forced slumber? Who is the head of The Scarlet Hand organization? Will Grandma Relda and Elvis be safe?
The next book will be released December 2007, so the wait won't be too long.
The Sisters Grimm series is a delight. It is in my opinion as good as Harry Potter. It's a fast read and filled with quirky characters and situations that are so much fun.
Armchair Interviews says: Highly recommended.
The Problem Child (The Sisters Grimm Book 3) This book was as exciting and then some as the others and I can't wait to read book 4
Review by a 4th grader This is a great, excitement-filled adventure book that everyone should have a chance to read. I liked the ending, the fat cranky Ariel Mermaid, and the many surprises through the book. I DO hope the series ends because I can't wait to find out what will happen next, and the suspense is killing me! :)
