Daphne and Sabrina totally remind me of my sister and myself XD
The Sisters Grimm series is amazing. I am on book five. I love the series because its fairytales but so much better.
I'm reading this book and so far its awesome
I LOVE the Sisters Grimm. The first book is just as good as all the rest! Sabrina and her sister Daphne, who stay in an orphanage, are sent to live with a crazy old lady who says she's their grandmother. She cooks crazy food, lives in a messy house, and just acts weird in general. After trying to escape from their room, being found, having their window nailed shut, and more, Sabrina and Daphne discover that they're actually related to the brothers Grimm.
Ever since Sabrina and Daphne's parent's went missing they have been in and out of foster homes, and now they are being sent to live with a grandma which they never knew they had. It turns out the two sister's are descendants of the Grimm brothers, and that the Grimms have kept magical beings and people in line for centuries, and now the job falls to them. Now they must face giants, fairies, Pixies, and discover who is behind all of the criminal happenings in this small town of Everafters. This book reminded me of the Percy Jackson series the way it put a new twist on fairy tales and the modern world, and it was very interesting and a page turner for sure.
THIS IS A ASOWME BOOK. it is full of a little fansasy and lots of adventure and mystery

i love this book
i think this book has a BRILLIANT plot and is very eye catching:)
I read this book for a class assignment and found the plot kind of predictive. I would have wished it to be more mysterious and a more inventive plot. All around it was okay and I would recommend if you love a good fractured tale!
