I LOVED THIS!!!I knew this was going to include fairytale characters, but this was like a Once Upon a Time for middle grade readers. There is a town seemingly in the middle of nowhere where these fairytale creatures are stuck. It is up to the Grimm family to keep everyone in line and to solve the mysteries around town. We meet so many well known characters but with twists on them. We have a glutinous Charming, and a good Big Bad Wolf. Gilda the Good Witch is pretty neutral and the Grimm familyHow easy it would have been for The Fairy Tale Detectives to have slipped into a maudlin or hackneyed mess! However, author Michael Buckley provides enough of a twist on each of the fairy-tale creature (or Everafter as they're known in the book) and enough sly humor to make this book a pleasure for all ages.Sabrina and Daphne Grimm are portrayed as real children, neither impossibly goody-goody nor impossibly brilliant. As the girls rocket from one adventure into another, readers will get plenty
This was a playful and fun book, with a few flaws.Sabrina and Daphne's parents disapear one day out of the blue, and the police can't find them. They bounce from one horrible foster home to another, until an old lady comes forward claiming to be their Grandmother. This is weird, because their parents told them their Grandmother was dead. When they meet her, she tells them that they are descended from The Brother's Grimm, who wrote down true events that occured with real creatures. All of these
Sabrina and Daphne Grimm's parents, their only known family, have disappeared. After a year and a half in and out of foster homes, the girls find out that they have a grandma they've never heard of. They arrive at her house only to be informed that the girls come from a long line of fairy tale "detectives". For the last 200 years, they've been cleaning up magical problems in the town of Ferryport Landing, a town filled with characters from fairy tales and children's literature. The girls have to
This is a light-hearted and faced-paced book. It's slightly snarky humor and slap-stick action sequences are designed to appeal to younger readers. For fans of fairy tales and fairy tale retellings, the definition of fairy tales used here is annoyingly broad--included are characters from L. Frank Baum, Lewis Carroll, and Rudyard Kipling. Also, the author does little with these characters to make them his own. The book's many cliches may be new to the target audience, but will taste stale to many
I had a review here. BLAST!!! Ok. This book was so worth it. I kept finding myself grinning and smiling as I was reading it. It was funny and the characters were those that you could adore, while the story was a mystery you actually wanted to solve. They are detectives and it runs in the family. Its a cool thing to me. These could definitely appeal to a wide range of ages and not just children. They are great. I highlighted some of the things I thought were neat or that made me smile. Granny is
What really made me pick up this book and read it is the fact that it's about the Grimm's fairy tales. I can't resist anything to do with the Brothers Grimm or fairy tales in general, and this little mystery series was just perfect for what it is. Now I'm not calling it a literary masterpiece, but for 9 and 10 year old girls, this is got to be one of the best series out there.Despite the fact that most of this series has to do with wild, crazy, fairy tale happenings, the two main characters
