The Sisters Grimm

The Unusual Suspects

By: Michael Buckley

Narrated by: L. J. Ganser

In book two of the series, the Sisters Grimm start school at Ferryport Landing Elementary. Daphne's lucky enough to get Snow White for a teacher - she loves little people - but poor Sabrina's stuck with Mr. Grumpner and a class of mildly psychotic sixth graders. When Mr. Grumpner is found hanging in a spider's web, it is up to the Grimms to find the Everafter who did it. If only Sabrina can get over her distrust of all fairy-tale folk. But how can she trust those who just might be responsible for the disappearance of her parents?©2000 Sara Sefchovich (P)2004 Recorded Books, LLC

Great Young Audience Read/Listen

In all honesty, I'm probably a bit old for these books, but I love them. The writing is superb and the narrator does a good job. I keep my fun reading within the fantasy genre about 80%of the time. This is a perfect series to use as a quick read or listen between longer books. The story is well thought out and not as predictable as you think. The characters are fun, witty, and relatable. I love it when an author can take known fairytale characters and make them his own. I'd highly recommend this whole series.

Delightful childrens serial books

My new favorite series

What did you love best about The Sisters Grimm?

It's full of warmth, fun, adventure, magic, mystery and humor.

What about L. J. Ganser’s performance did you like?

Awesome voices. You can't always tell there aren't 5 different people reading to you instead of one great talent

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I easily could have listened to it start to finish if time permitted.

Any additional comments?

I make sure I have the next book in my queue before I finish one so I have no interuption between books. What an great series

Excellent Second

I am just continually fascinated in how Buckley is able to use different aspects of fairy tales and incorporate them into this exciting world. I never would have thought that the Little Match Girl would be used in a story let alone that her matches could be used in such a unique matter. Alice in Wonderland's Jabberwockey comes into play when you would least expect it. And Red Riding Hood? Goodness, you'll just have to find out.

Again, Sabrina and Daphne are just fun to read about. I like how Daphne is super perceptive and how Sabrina has to learn how to better manage her anger. Also, Puck is a blast. This is a great second book for the series.

The kids!

Nothing like the first book beautiful decadence of the article duchess and the kids and the grandma are so cool!

Tied with the Riordan books as son's favorites

What made the experience of listening to The Sisters Grimm the most enjoyable?

My son can't put these books down, and eagerly waited for the next installment. Other than the Riordan series, I haven't seen him that anxious to get the next book downloaded.

What did you like best about this story?

All of the allusions to fairy tales and other well-known stories.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

My 12 year old came close -- certainly was anxious each evening (our time to listen to books on tape) to get this playing.

Any additional comments?

From an adult perspective I didn't love this series as much as my son -- but I would definitely recommend it to kids in his age group.

Very funny!!

This is book 2, start with The Fairy Tales Detectives: The Sisters Grimm as book 1.

You have got to listen to these with your kids. Beware! This story ends abruptly without a resolution. You MUST get The Problem Child: The Sisters Grimm to have on hand. You won't be able to stop! These are so punk rock! (you'll get this comment once you start the series)

Fun story, but have breathing was distracting.

I'm becoming a fan of the Sisters Grimm stories, but the narrator's character affectations could use some work. At times it was difficult to tell which European accent was meant to represent which character, and gender affectations were even worse. Obviously narrating a book requires breathing, I didn't expect it to require heavy breathing into the recording equipment.
