So far in the book a character named Daphne and Sabrina Grimm were living at an orphanage. There parents were mysteriously missing and vanished into thin air. A couple days later they found Daphne and Sabrina's parents car but did not find anyone inside it. The investigation people had no clue where there parents were. Meanwhile in the orphanage numerous people wanted them, but a lot of the people didn't have enough money to raise them. One of the people that wanted Sabrina and Daphne slept in his truck and made Daphne and Sabrina sleep in the back. Ms. Smirt (The person that works at the orphanage) did not approve of letting them stay with him. But one day, an old lady came in the orphanage claiming that she was Daphne and Sabrina's grandmother. But Daphne new that her grandma was dead before they were even born. Ms. Smirt then approved that it was okay to live with "grandma Grimm". Grandma Grimm, Daphne and Sabrina went to the train station to go home with grandma Grimm. Grandma Grimm lived in Ferryport Landing. A place that Daphne and Sabrina never even heard about. They then arrived at Grandma Grimm's place and met a Butler named Mr. Canis. Mr. Canis was really mean to Daphne and Sabrina and did not really care about them that much. He yelled to them when it was bedtime. And never really answered there questions. Daphne and Sabrina thought everyone was being very mysterious and were trying to be detectives. Mr. Sevens a neighbo, were investigating him. Then they went inside the house looking at portraits of there family. But did not really look like Sabrina or Daphne, but then Daphne new that they were the brother Grimm. A couple days later they were playing outside and saw some mysterious activity going on. Sabrina thought that she saw a giant in the forest. And also she thought that there next door neighbors looked like Snow White, the three little pigs and the big bad wold. How weird is that!?! This is all I have read so far. And this was a summary of what I read said so far!!!


1) Some exciting events that happened in the book while I was reading it was that they do not know what happened in to there parents and the investigation system still does not know what happened to Daphne and Sabrina parents. Which is really sad. The also have a grandma Grimm they don't even know about and the thought that they did not have a grandma anymore because Daphne and Sabrina thought she was dead. Plus they have never heard of a place called Ferryport Landing. Plus that Sabrina thinks that she is seeing some activity happening and probably thinks that she is crazy because she thinks that she saw a huge giant in the forest and also she thinks that Snow White, The three little pigs and the Big Bad Wolf is her neighbors. This is a pretty exciting book. I think that in the book they are going to find out that Grandma Grimm is just keeping Sabrina and Daphne far away from there parents and I also think that something bad is going to happen to them if they don't pay attention of where they are going off to. They are seeing so much weird stuff you don't know what else they might see. I also think that Grandma Relda might be a witch. Because this is a fairy tale book you don't know if humans are real or not in this book. All I can say us that this book is getting really GOOD! =D

2) I think that Grandma Relda is really important to the book The Sisters Grimm because without the book would not be that great. I also think where she lives is making this book such a good book. Also with out Grandma Relda there would not be a conflict in The Sisters Grimm. Keep up the good work Grandma Relda. I also think that the place they are in makes the book exciting because most books rely on different charters and does not have charters from other books. But in the Sisters Grimm, I think it is pretty exciting to see that the 3 little pigs, the big bad wolf and Snow White is in it. And they are familiar charters that a lot of people know. That is what is whats good about the book also whats also important in the book besides the main characters.

3) I think I would read another book by this author and maybe even see the movie. What I am reading now is pretty cool and exciting to read. I was very surprised and excited to see that the three little pigs, the big bad wolf and Snow White and a Huge Giant would be in this book. Who would knew that would happen. I would read another book by this author Michael Buckley because everything in this book has a lot of fairy tale and a lot of conflict. And a lot of conflict in my opinion makes in a good book. as you can see I like book s with a lot of conflict. It is also pretty scary what they have gone through. And is kind of interesting that there parent are gone and cannot be found and that Daphne and Sabrina have never heard of Ferryport Landing. There is so much action in this book. And that is basically why I want to read another book by the author Michael Buckley.

4) The thing that upsets me and is sad to me is that it is kind of sad that Sabrina and Daphne's parents have vanished and are missing. It is also sad that they don't have any other family. They don't have Uncles or Cousins or Aunts and now no grandma. Besides the one that is claiming to be Sabrina and Daphne's grandma. It also upsets me is when they don't really talk about there parent or family more or what happened to them or anything. All it says in the book was that Daphne and Sabrina's parents were missing and basically vanished in thin air. And that they found there parents car and no one was in it. And then they just went to the orphanage part. That was the only part about there parents. I was kind of expecting more about them and that is what got me so into this book was about Sabrina and Daphne's parents. This is something I would want the author to fix in this book. But what do I know maybe it tells me more fact and details about the parents in the book. I cannot wait to read more!!!

This has been A REALLY GOOD BOOK! I know it might not be a 7th grade reading level book but this is a great book for people that like fairy tales! =D

P.S. Grandma Grimm and Grandma Relda are the exact same people. I just put different names for them by accident. =D I read extra time for my reading fro #1 i forgot to do it. So I made it pretty long. This is also fro # 2 also. (I hope this is long enough)
