Sabrina, Daphne, and Puck are stuck in the Book of Everafter, where all fairy tales are stored and enchanted characters can change their destinies. They must chase the Master through a series of stories, where they’re willing to change what they need in order to save their baby brother.
Soon, however, they are confronted by the Editor—the book’s guardian—who, along with an army of tiny monsters known as Revisers, threatens the children with dire consequences if they don’t stick to the stories.
As they chase their quarry and dodge the Revisers, they meet Alice, Mowgli, Jack the Giant Killer, Hansel and Gretel, the Headless Horseman, and more. But will they find their brother in time?

This series should be read in order.
For Sabrina and Daphne Grimm, life has not been a fairy tale. After the mysterious disappearance of their parents, the sisters are sent to live with their grandmother—a woman they believed was dead!
Granny Relda reveals that the girls have two famous ancestors, the Brothers Grimm, whose classic book of fairy tales is actually a collection of case files of magical mischief. Now the girls must take on the family responsibility of being fairy tale detectives.
The Sisters Grimm is about what happens after '...happily ever after.' This is a unique and beautifully illustrated series filled with mystery, adventure and magic.
