Daphne, Sabrina, and Puck’s most magic-filled mystery

The latest addition to the New York Times bestselling series, which Kirkus Reviews calls “memorable and madcap”

In book five of the series, Sabrina and Daphne Grimm are ready to tackle their own case: Who is stealing the magical possessions of the most powerful Everafters in town? With Granny distracted by Mayor Heart’s campaign against human residents, the girl detectives are on their own. Puss in Boots (now an exterminator), Cinderella (a radio relationship counselor), Sleeping Beauty (owner of a coffee shop), and their old enemy, Prince Charming, are among the many suspects, and one thing is for certain: The villain’s plans mean a grim future for the Grimms—truly!

I'm New York Times bestselling author and fancy man around town, Michael Buckley. Thanks for stopping by to check out some of my books (and to purchase them - hint, hint). My latest books are part of the Finniverse series, Finn and the Intergalactic Lunchbox, Finn and the Time Travelling Pajamas, and Finn and the Subatomic Slip and Slide. I'm probably best known for The Sisters Grimm series as well as the NERDS series and the Audible Original The Weirdies and its sequel, The Weirdies Get Weirdier. I've written two picture books; Kel Gilligan's Daredevil Stunt Show, illustrated by Dan Santat, and Lenny the Lobster Can't Stay For Dinner with my son, Finn, and illustrated by Catherine Meurisse. My YA trilogy Undertow was published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and is about a mermaid invasion of Coney Island. My special talents include baking banana bread, leg wrestling, imitating cats, and invisibility. Want to know more? Of course, you do! Go to www.michaelbuckleywrites.com or visit me on Instagram @whatsupbuckley. While you're here, check out my books. I think you'll dig them.

This series has become our bedtime ritual, as I act out different accents and voices for each character. It has replaced iPad play for evening activities. We even bought the NERDS series by the same author, in anticipation of finishing Sisters Grimm. Nothing teaches the love of learning like a good cuddle around a favorite story. Thank you, Michael Buckley.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book in the Sisters Grimm series
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2018

The Sisters Grimm series has become the favorite stories for our nighttime routine. There is enough action, mystery, and relatable humor for our four kids (12, 10, 8 and 6). Characters from fairytale stories give the kids a sense of familiarity, while placed in modern, real-world contexts give them relevance and depth. Interpersonal relationships between sisters, love interests, and family highlight the complexities of growing up together. Easily accessible for kids and adults, thoroughly entertaining– we highly recommend this book and the others.

MINOR SPOILER ALERT

Whoa, This book is weird. I don't really like time travel stuff that much; it messes with my brain. But this book was still a great book and very funny, and the ending:
Oh that ending!
I was jumping up and down demanding we go to the library and pick up book 6. My dad reads them too (after I read them), and I told him that Charming did something drastic in the end. He reads the book and he says:
"I thought you said he was going to do something drastic."
And I say: "That wasn't drastic enough for you?"
Him: "No. We all knew he was gonna do THAT. I thought he was gonna, like, kill Canis or something."

I looked at him like he grew another head.

So, enough of that, the book is awesome, and you should totally read it.

This book is great. The topic is great and they let you under stand every thing that is going on in the book. Buy I would be careful about the age range that you let read this because there is some things that I wouldn't want a 6-9 year old reading. I mean it is a good book and it doesn't say any thing bad but it mite give littler kids night mares. So if you are a teacher then I would read this to your class if you get parent premises first. Buy I wouldn't read it to my class unless you are teaching 5th grade and up. Maybe not even 5th grade maybe 6th grade.

5.0 out of 5 stars Late night reading for my big guy
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2008

After months of "patiently" waiting for this title to come out in paperback, my almost 10 year old was thrilled to see its delivery from the UPS man. He LOVED this book, as he has the previous books and thinks they should all be made into movies and/or tv shows. He reads every night before bed, but usually only for about 20 minutes before falling fast asleep. With this book, he was up 2 hours after "lights-out" not wanting to put it down. Now he begins the wait for the next installment to be available in paperback.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doctor Cinderella and a meglomania Queen of Hearts
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 30, 2011

Book 5 of the Sisters Grimm books by Michael Buckley is another great ride. Magical items are going missing in the town of Ferryport Landing, last refuge of the storybook characters known as Everafters, and Sabrina and Daphne Grimm, last descendants of the fairy tale collectors Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm, are on the case. Buckley deftly weaves the multiple strands of this story together effortlessly, every fairytale character introduced is wittily cast and integral to the story. So here Cinderella has become agony aunt Dr Cindy on account of 'having a bit of a rough childhood' and the election of meglomaniac Queen of Hearts to Mayor of Fairyport Landing has terrible consequences for the human residents of the town. The story takes a nasty twist as Sabrina and Daphne are sucked into their future and meet their future selves, and Sabrina's future husband.

I love the hardback editions of Buckley's Sisters Grimm series, they are compact little books with nice black and white drawings but best of all the edges of each page are rough as if they've been split apart with a ruler and have the feel of a much older book.
