This is the second book
in THE SISTERS GRIM series.
Sabrina Grim and her little sister, Daphne, have come to live
with their grandmother in Ferryport Landing because their parents have
disappeared. Their new hometown is definitely different. There are a lot of
fairy-tale characters that live in the little community alongside the "normal
people." Like Daphne's teacher Snow White and Prince Charming the town
mayor. Sabrina doesn't trust her magical neighbors. She blames them for her
parents' disappearance. School starts and she's stuck in Mr. Grumpner's class.Unfortunately
his name sounds too much like his disposition. Grumpy. But when he's found dead,
hanging from a giant spider web it's obvious that a new mystery is a afoot. One
that the sheriff needs help solving.
The story moves fast and
is filled with all sorts of kooky and creepy characters that are sure to
delight the young reader.
