Fans of fractured fairy tales will be delighted to discover the
fantasy, mystery, adventure, and humor in the beloved New York
Times bestselling Sisters Grimm series by Michael Buckley, now with
new cover art. As featured on NBC's The Today Show, the nine wildly
popular books are favorites around the world. They were among the
first books to bring a distinctly girl-power spin to fairy tales a
spin taken up by hit movies and shows TV such as Once Upon a Time,
Grimm, and Maleficent, the bestselling book series The Land of
Stories, and other. New covers will appear on book one, The Sisters
Grimm: The Fairy-Tale Detectives; book two, The Sisters Grimm: The
Unusual Suspects; and book three, The Sisters Grimm: The Problem
Child. Books four through nine will be available in revised
editions soon. ? This third book in the series takes a dark twist,
as Sabrina and Daphne get closer to uncovering the truth about
their parents. Coming face-to-face with their parents' kidnappers,
the sisters are stunned when one of them turns out to be the
world's most famous fairy-tale character (hint: she wears red) and
the other an unstoppable killing-machine known as the Jabberwocky.
Without the presumed-dead Mr. Canis (aka The Big Bad Wolf) fighting
at their side, the girls have little hope that they'll ever be
reunited with their mother and father. That is until their
long-lost Uncle Jake returns home with stories of a weapon that can
kill the Jabberwocky a weapon so powerful that it had to be
shattered into many pieces. Now the girls must find the pieces so
the deadly weapon can be reformed. But to get the deed done they'll
have to go head-to-head with the Wizard of Oz, the (not so) Little
Mermaid, and even the horrible witch Baba Yaga. To complicate
matters, Sabrina begins to struggle with an addiction to magic and
finds herself unraveling a real-life family mystery. With an
irresistible combination of adventure and imagination, the Sisters
Grimm series injects classic fairy tales with modern day
sensibilities and suspense, creating a fantastical combination
readers of all ages will love. "Kids will love Sabrina and Daphne's
adventures as much as I did." Sarah Michelle Gellar, star of Buffy
the Vampire Slayer and I Know What You Did Last Summer "Adventure,
laughs, and surprises kept me eagerly turning the pages." R. L.
Stine, author of the Goosebumps series "Why didn't I think of The
Sisters Grimm? What a great concept!" Jane Yolen, award-winning
author "Terrific, head-spinning series . . . Rich in well-set-up
surprises and imaginatively tweaked characters, this
tongue-in-cheek frolic features both a pair of memorable young
sleuths and a madcap plot with plenty of leads into future
episodes." Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Enormously entertaining,
the book takes the fractured fairy-tale genre to new heights." Time
Out New York Kids "An idea that will make other children's book
writers, and tons of aspiring ones, kick themselves for not
thinking of it first." The San Antonio Express-News "A page-turner
that incorporates humor, tension, suspense and a wild cast of
characters, readers will have trouble putting this novel down." The
Dallas Morning News "Quirky and reasonable characters, engaging
writing, fresh fairy tale references, and a very real fantasy
setting." The Raleigh News and Observer, "Most Promising New
Series" "The twists and turns of the plot, the clever humor, and
the behind-the-scenes glimpses of Everafters we think we know, will
appeal to many readers." Kliatt, starred review
