The Fairy Tale Detectives / Michael Buckley / 284 pages

This is the 1st title in the Sisters Grimm series, and I really enjoyed listening to it on CD.  Sabrina and Daphne are orphans who have been shuffled from foster home to foster home until they are placed with an eccentric woman who claims to be their grandmother when they believe their grandmother is dead.  In this adventure, the girls encounter all sorts of characters from fairy and folk tales as well as characters from classic books and plays.  They help to save Ferryport Landing from a giant, learn about their history, and discover that their parents may still be alive.  Enchanting and fun for those who are familiar with fairy tales.  Might create some interest in reading the tales referenced in the book.
