Review: The Fairy-tale Detectives, by Michael Buckley


8-13


For Sabrina and Daphne Grimm, life has not been a fairy tale. After the mysterious disappearance of their parents, the sisters are sent to live with their grandmother--a woman they believed was dead! Granny Relda reveals that the girls have two famous ancestors, the Brothers Grimm, whose classic book of fairy tales is actually a collection of case files of magical mischief. Now the girls must take on the family responsibility of being fairy tale detectives.



When Sabrina and Daphne Grimm are told that fairytales are acutaly REAL they just shake their heads. Well at least Sabrina. But when a giant carries off their grandmother they must find a way to save her. With the help of Puck and Mirror they sneak into a ball, jailbreak a criminal, and narrowly escape a nasty death from an arrow. But will they be able to save Granny Relda and her friend Mr. Canis? The Fairy-Tale Detectives ( and the rest of the series ) is really good.

I don't know which person I like best. Sabrina's clever but has a bad temper, and Daphne's sweet but only six years old.

I don't know why, but I like when they learn about the Brothers Grimm and the other fairytale stuff. Maybe everybody does.
