The Fairy-Tale Detectives by Michael Buckley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thus far, the story of Sabrina and Daphne Grimm does not end "Happily Ever After." Their parents disappeared over a year ago and ever since they have been moved from foster home to foster home until they are sent to live with their Father's mother, the grandmother they believed was dead.

Granny Grimm is not your typical grandmother and does not live in the typical town. Granny Grimm and therefore the Grimm sisters are relatives of the legendary Brothers Grimm. After Granny is taken by a giant Sabrina and her younger sister must face the truth, that the stories told in the Grimm fairy tales are not just stories but true-life cases and the characters are in fact real.

With their Granny held captive by a giant it is Sabrina and Daphne's responsibility to solve the lastest crime wave in Ferry Port Landing.

I have always been intrigued by this series when I past it on the shelf in my library and I'm glad I finally picked up the first one to read. It is an entertaining read and it has left me more interested in the original tales from the Brothers Grimm. This a great book for young readers ages 7 and up and would work well as a read aloud.
