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 second book in the bestselling Sisters
Grimm series, the sisters begin school at Ferryport Landing
Elementary. Daphne gets Snow White for a teacher, but Sabrina is
stuck with nasty Mr. Grumpner and a class of mildly psychotic sixth
graders. When Mr. Grumpner is mysteriously murdered, Daphne and
Sabrina must discover which Everafter is responsible. But Sabrina's
distrust of all Everafters may get in the way of unraveling the
case. 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

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 . . .

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

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
