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. ? In this first book in the series, orphaned sisters
Sabrina and Daphne are sent to live with their recently discovered
grandmother, Relda Grimm. The girls learn that they are descendants
of the Brothers Grimm, whose famous tome of fairy tales is actually
a history book. The girls are pitted against a giant, who has been
rampaging through town. But who set the giant loose in the first
place? Was it Mayor Charming (formerly Prince Charming), who has
plans to get his kingdom back? The Three Not-So-Little Pigs, now
working as police officers? Or a giant-killer named Jack, currently
working at a Big & Tall store? 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."

concept!" Jane Yolen, award-winning author "Terrific, head-spinning
series . . . Rich in well-set-up surprises and imaginatively

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,
