I was first introduced to this enchanting series a couple years ago by my niece Jordyn, who was reading them at the time. The series follows 11-year-old Sabrina Grimm and her 7-year-old sister Daphne. They have been in foster care since the mysterious disappearance of their parents nearly 2 years ago. Sabrina is surprised and suspicious when an old lady claiming to be their grandmother (whom they thought dead) takes them to live with her in a little town called Ferryport Landing.
Ferryport Landing is not like normal towns. The residents are fairytale characters called Everafters who came across the Atlantic to the new world. However, they are trapped in Ferryport Landing by a magical barrier put there by the original Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm to prevent the more mischievous and and sinister Everafters from escaping and wreaking havoc. So thus Sabrina and Daphne Grimm are introduced to their family business of being fairytale detectives.
Adventure and danger abound in this series as they look for clues to their parents' disappearance and discover a more sinister plot that involves a group called the Scarlet Hand.
Books in the series:
1 - Fairy-tale Detectives
2 - The Unusual Suspects
3 - The Problem Child
4 - Once Upon a Crime
5 - Magic and Other Misdemeanors
6 - Tales From the Hood
7 - The Everafter War
8 - The Inside Story
Look for Council of Mirrors, the final book of the series, coming out May 2012!
