Michael Buckley's New York Times bestselling Sisters Grimm series is perfect for middle-grade readers that want fantasy, mystery and adventure, along with a good dose of girl power!
Perfect for fans of fractured fairy tales, this series features two young sisters Sabrina and Daphne, who, having lived their whole life as orphans, get sent to live with their recently discovered grandmother, Relda Grimm. And if the surname sounds familiar ... it's because the girls are actually descendants of the Brothers Grimm!
In this series, the fairy tales told by the Brothers Grimm are real history! Snow White, the Three Little Pigs and countless other fairy-tale folk are all neighbours of Granny Grimm in a secret community of Everafters. And in each book the girls, thanks to the help of their grandmother and other magical creatures, become detectives solving fairy tale mysteries, as they set out to finally find their parents for good.
This is a brilliant complete set of books for fans of Far Out Fairy Tales and Fairy Tale Twists. If you enjoyed this series and would like to find more like it, check out our list of the best fractured fairy tale books for readers of all ages.
