I really liked this book, it has a good bit of mystery to it! SPOILER ALERT I knew when those pixies weren't fireflys as soon as it said they made weird sounds.

Grandmother Grimm lives in a strange town in New York State, known for it's extraordinary number of unexplained and unusual crimes. As soon as the sisters arrive, they begin to unravel a mystery that leads to their ancestors' magical beginnings. Sabrina and Daphne learn they are descendants of the Brothers Grimm, who were actually detectives of the magical phenomenon perpetrated by the Everafters, a parallel race of magical beings. They soon discover it is the Grimm family's legacy to keep the Everafters in line and the two sisters are the sole heirs to this challenge!
In this first book in the series, the girls are pitted against giants, who have been rampaging through town in their search for an Englishman named Jack, currently working at the Big & Tall store.

This book is great but not my best so 3 stars I do love this series though
I loved this series so much I read all nine books in a day!
This book started in a quaint, quirky, interesting way. It draws you in. I love how there is a familiar twist on our beloved fairy tales, and instead of being about princesses and princes it is about 2 fairy tale detectives. Very original!
