This is the first in a series of books (so far there are three) about the Sisters Grimm, modern descendants of the Brothers Grimm. The Sisters are two young girls whose parents have mysteriously disappeared, so they live with their grandmother and her friend, the Big Bad Wolf. In fact, the town is populated with both fairy tale characters in disguise--the policeman is one of the Three Little Pigs and Prince Charming is the mayor--and regular people who don't know about the fairy folk. I really like this series. It is fun to see what the author does with all the fairy tale characters who are living secretly in the modern world. And my daughter is thrilled to have books about girl detectives who smart, strong and brave. The only thing I dislike about the series is that the author doesn't stick to his conceit. I think he should have stuck to just the Brothers Grimm and not brought in characters from other stories outside the cannon, like the Wizard of Oz.Read full review
It says it’s in good condition, but I would say that it is in fair condition. This does not mean it’s unreadable of course. I expected a little better, but it is from 2005.

Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The cover was extremely beat up and discolored. Books with good labels should not be damaged in this way.

This book was on the morning show 2 weeks ago and it sounded very interesting. The writer Michael Buckley was on there talking about why he decided to write the Grimm sisters! My first thought when ever I think something will hard to find is to go to ebay first, there they were and at half the price! great book so far. I can't wait to read the other ones.
