The Sisters Grimm: The Fairy-Tale Detectives is one of the books that I read aloud to a class of second graders this year. While it was sometimes over-their-heads, they enjoyed it greatly. The book is very much in the fantasy/quest/Harry Potterish vein, with orphaned heroines whose parents disappeared mysteriously. They quickly learn that they are the ancestors of the Brothers Grimm and that they, along with their grandmother, Relda, must keep order amongst the fairy-tale characters who live in the area (a hidden location seperated from the outside world).
Though I did not choose to read any of the other books in the series to the children, I am curious as to what the sisters find themselves involved in next - and the reason for their parent's disappearance. Perhaps I will give the other books a chance when I have the need for some easy reading.

I didn’t enjoy Sabrina’s attitude 3/4 of the book. Otherwise quirky and fun with a bit too much exposition here and there.

LOVED THIS SERIES SO MUCH AS A KID AND IF I AM BLESSED WITH CHILDREN I WILL READ IT TO THEM OR MAYBE JUST NORAH AND MARGOT SO FAR
Fun fractured fairy tale. I am hooked enough to want to read more and find out what happened to the girls' parents!
It was a bit boring and not as cool as I’d hoped

quite literally one of the most important books in literary history to me. my roman empire, my north star, my steadfast companion, why i am the way i am. i somehow relate to sabrina grimm even more now than i did when i was eight, and that’s saying something.
