Grimm submitted by shalinigurl on July 7, 2012, 10:36am My absolute favorite one in the series! This book is amazing!

Exciting submitted by klickitat on August 6, 2012, 7:39pm After their parents mysteriously disappear, Sabrina and Daphne Grimm are sent to live with their grandmother, a woman they had been told was dead. Upon arrival the girls learn that they are the last descendants of the Brothers Grimm and the town they now call home is a haven for Everafters, or fairy tale characters. They soon become caught up in an adventure involving pixies, a giant, the Big Bad Wolf, and even the former Prince Charming. Readers familiar with fairy tales and A Midsummer Night's Dream will enjoy being able to recognize the classic characters as they enter the story. The pace is quick and the adventure is exciting. The beautiful book design adds to the reading experience. Each chapter is headed with an old fashioned cameo and Peter Ferguson's soft pencil illustrations add to the appeal.

Great submitted by orcomai on August 17, 2012, 10:27am I would want to live in this town!

Exciting submitted by Bookbird on July 29, 2013, 3:10pm An amazing book of what happens if you live in a town of fairy-tale characters, and your family is in the detective business, solving magical cases. I was delighted when I recognized many fairy tale characters whose stories I have read. I recommend this book to everyone!

Sisters Rule submitted by Fishing Rainbow on June 16, 2014, 6:39pm Sisters Sabrina and Daphne Grimm go on a exciting adventure and meet fairy tale characters that they thought were just from books. It is a breath taking novel with both suspense and a great story line. The best story about fairy tale characters yet .

Orphans Win the Day! submitted by matthewsc on August 24, 2015, 6:15pm A good book about life as fairy-tale detectives with no parents and the Big Bad Wolf as a friend.

If you read one..... submitted by baidelk on July 23, 2016, 2:30pm You have to get the next 8 of them, you can't keep your hands off of them, your eyes get glued to the pages

A Pleasant Surprise! submitted by tanyalenko on July 26, 2020, 4:45pm I usually don't like books about orphans. They are cliche and irritating.
However, this book is definitely an exception. Sabrina and Daphne are winning characters, and their stories are awesome. I love the next eight books too!
I only wish that these had been more popular when I was the same age as the main character, so I could have talked more about them with my friends!
Definitely worth reading!

Good Start submitted by kathscot on August 2, 2020, 10:24pm Humor and action combine in this twist of fairy tales. Sabrina and Daphne don’t know who they can trust when sent to stay with a woman who claims to be their grandmother.

A super series! submitted by Rcacvaidya on June 29, 2022, 6:39pm I cannot get enough of this series! So many fun and unexpected obstacles that keep you guessing and wanting to know more.
