In the tradition of Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events and The Spiderwick Chronicles comes a new humorous mystery of fantastic circumstances. The Sisters Grimm (Book One): The Fairy Tale Detectives introduces us to two orphaned sisters, Sabrina and Daphne, who are sent to live with their mysterious grandmother, Relda Grimm. Grandmother Grimm lives in a strange town in New York State, known for it's extraordinary number of unexplained and unusual crimes. As soon as the sisters arrive, they begin to unravel a mystery that leads to their ancestors' magical beginnings. Sabrina and Daphne learn they are descendants of the Brothers Grimm, who were actually detectives of the magical phenomenon perpetrated by the Everafters, a parallel race of magical beings. They soon discover it is the Grimm family's legacy to keep the Everafters in line and the two sisters are the sole heirs to this challenge!

In this first book in the series, the girls are pitted against giants, who have been rampaging through town in their search for an Englishman named Jack, currently working at the Big & Tall store.

In a new breed of mystery that intermingles humor, excitement, adventure and imagination, The Sisters Grimm Book One: The Fairy Tale Detectives will inject the legends of fairytale with modern day sensibilities and suspense, creating an irresistible combination young readers will love!

I really enjoyed reading this book! It was full of adventures and surprises. Daphne and Sabrina have emotions that are out of control. This is a great fairytale and I think you all should read it!

I thought this book was really interesting. Sabrina, 11 and Daphne, 7 have been abandoned by their parents and they were put into many foster homes. They eventually end up with their grandmother. They believe that their grandmother is dead!

I personally think that this book was really interesting and it is filled with excitement.

Personally i did not like this book because it is slow and kind of boring but if you like fairy tales then i recommend it

This is a fun book. Sabrina, 11 and Daphne, 7 have been abandoned by their parents and put in numerous foster homes. They eventually wind up with their grandmother, who lives in a town where the community is made up of fairy tale characters. I didn't find the plot as inventive as other fairy tale-based books I read, but I liked it.
