Hey folks! I told you last week I would be reading and reviewing the latest Sisters Grimm book, and here I am! (Warning, if you don't want to be spoiled about the previous books, you might not want to read this!Just to get you caught up: sisters Sabrina and Daphne Grimm used to be normal kids living in New York City; when one day, their parents were kidnapped, leaving behind a red hand print as the only evidence. The girls were tossed from one horrible foster family to the next, till finally they ended up with Relda Grimm, an old woman who, apparently, was the grandmother they never knew. They go to live with her in Ferryport Landing, and soon discover that it is no ordinary town. The majority of its inhabitants are real-life fairy tale characters! They also learn that they are the descendants of the famous Brothers Grimm, fairy tale detectives. Since then, they've been (slightly reluctantly) doing their detective duties, along with Mr. Canis (AKA the Big Bad Wolf), the fairy prankster Puck, and other friends.
In book eight, The Inside Story, we pick up where we left off last time: Sabrina, Daphne and Puck chasing the Master of the Scarlet Hand and the girls' recently discovered baby brother into the pages of the mysterious Book of Everafter. They find themselves thrown in recreations of famous stories like The Wizard Of Oz, Alice In Wonderland, and Aladdin. They have to find the Master before he gets to his own story-- because, using the book, he could change history forever. But they must also be quick as they race through the tales--whenever something is changed too much, the Editor sends his Revisers, creatures that erase everything in sight!
This was an excellent addition to Michael Buckley's series; it left me anxious for the next book! I really enjoyed Sabrina's character in this book, more so than in the past. And Daphne and Puck were awesome as always. It's a must-read! (Once you've read all the other books, of course.) Have a good week!
