Without Mr. Canis (aka The Big Bad Wolf) fighting at their side, the girls have little hope that they'll be reunited with their mother and father. That is until their long-lost Uncle Jake returns home with stories of a weapon, now destroyed, that can kill the Jabberwocky. The girls must find the pieces so the deadly blade can be reforged, and in the process butt heads with some of the most powerful Everafters in Ferryport Landing. Will the sisters Grimm save the day?

Reviews

[Lydia · Rating 4 out of 5]

#3 was my least favorite so far. Agreed that Sabrina can be obnoxious but my girls are really enjoying the series.
#4 was slightly better. I liked the setting but am tired of how the kids talk/treat each other.

[Gianna · Rating 3 out of 5]

I actually only read the 3rd book at the moment, but I couldn't find just this one on Goodreads. I enjoy the plot of these books, and they make for great quick reads. The writing style is clearly meant for younger readers, but I enjoy the world and the story line that the author has built.

[Alisha · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think the books are good

[Sarah Hogue · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sabrina is annoying but these boons are fun and enchanting and I like to see the different versions of classic fairy-tale characters

[Elliana]

Super Awesome! Sabrina and Daphne remind me of myself minus the fairy tale background.

[Brooke · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this series especially when I was twelve these books were actually the one's to really get me into loving to read.

[ZP · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome book! Very descriptive and paints a fabulous picture in your head!

[Barbara · Rating 2 out of 5]

The Grimm sisters are descendants of the Grimm brothers. They end up in the town of Ferryport landing where most of the inhabitants are the actual characters from fairytales.

It is fun to see how different characters are woven into the story. It is written for younger children. One of the characters is a disgusting boy and he enjoys body humor and such jokes. It is nothing terrible, but some readers may find it distracting and gross.

The end of book 2 is a complete cliffhanger, so make sure you have book 3 already on hand. The ending is like a season finale, everyone is in mortal danger and you have to wait until next season to see how it all turns out. Other than that, it was an enjoyable read.

[Mckaelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

These books where great. With good description, and a way to capture your attention, they are really good. The auther created an intreging way to tell you about the Brothers Grimm's ancesters. The books are adventurous, mysterious, and suspenceful. At first it seemed like a stupid book series, and at first I wanted to put it down, but after the first book, I justcoldn't stop reading them. I would so recomend them to any living being. So, read them!

[Stephanie · Rating 2 out of 5]

I decided to read whatever books my daughter was reading, and she wasn't going to let me off the hook with this series. So, yeah, I read the first three books and decided that was plenty. This series is just fine, the writing is fine, the story is fine. I do like the idea behind this series--fairy tale. It just comes across as a pale, pale imitation of the Fablehaven books, which rock. I'd recommend this book to anyone under the age of 12.

[Audrey · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just began reading this series of books titled the Sisters Grimm. IT is the back story, or the imagined back stories of our favorite fairy tales. we get to know a little bit more about what really happened to the wolf in Little Red Riding hood and the three little pigs etc. Two sisters are master sleuths at figuring out the mysteries in a town called Fairyport. It is as if you are reading about Nancy Drew's adventures with Fairy tale characters.

[Ava Echard · Rating 5 out of 5]

A memorable series of books, so I enjoyed the entire series. The books are directed forwards young readers and I started them in first grade. I read a book and then waited eagerly for the next one came out. And when I got the newest one I felt like flying. This review is for the entire series. It is breath-taking, suspensful, and even funny at times. This is a great read

[Leuca Clay · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great book for those who love quirky fantasy reinventions with plot twists you would never--NEVER expect. Buckley is creative with his use of both the subtle and the obvious. A colorfully painted with some humor meant for younger audiences, this is a great middle-school series that just keeps going and going.

[Randalynn · Rating 3 out of 5]

These were a great fun read. I blazed through them in a couple days and can't wait to finally get the next three books once they come in at the library. I found the idea very clever and the characters pretty interesting. Good juvie book.

[Julia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm currently reading this books and they are really good! I love reading them because they are funny, have great adventures and mysteries twined into the stories, but they are terrible to read if you want a book that will make you fall asleep (You cant put them down) :)
