Book Synopsis

The fairy-tale detectives set out to rescue their parents in Problem Child, the third book in Michael Buckley's beloved New York Times bestselling Sisters Grimm series--featuring illustrations by Peter Ferguson.

For Sabrina and Daphne Grimm, the latest in a long line of fairy-tale detectives, there is one mystery they want to solve above all others: Who kidnapped their parents?

Sabrina finds the secret hideaway of the Scarlet Hand, the sinister group of Everafters who are holding her parents captive, and she has a chance to rescue their mom and dad. But her plan is foiled by the most famous fairy-tale character in the world. How can a human child defeat a magic one? With the help of her little sister (who is a lot tougher than Sabrina realizes) and a long-lost relative, Sabrina finds a powerful weapon . . . but discovers that magic comes at a high price.

Millions of readers have fallen in love with the Grimm sisters' adventures. The books are ideal for middle-grade readers, but enjoyable for anyone who loves a good fairy tale twist.
