About this item
In paperback for the first time, the Sisters Grimm take readers to a world where fairy tales are fact and not everyone is who they seem! In book one of this bestselling series, sisters Sabrina and Daphne are sent to live with their mysterious grandmother, Relda Grimm. The sisters learn they are descendants of the Brothers Grimm, whose famous book of fairy tales is actually a collection of case files. The girls are the latest in a long line of fairy-tale detectives, and their new hometown is filled with Everafters (as magical folks like to be called) - some good and some very, very bad. When a mysterious Everafter sets a giant loose on the town, it's up to the Sisters Grimm to save the day.
About the Author
A nomad at heart, Michael Buckley thrives on adventuring in remote corners of the globe--rappelling through the treetops of Costa Rica, hunting elusive mammals in the wilds of Bhutan (with a camera) , diving with manta rays, kayaking in Cambodia, or trekking in Tibet. To get off the track, he is keen on self-propelled transport methods--mountain-biking, hiking, kayaking and diving.
He is author of a dozen books, including Meltdown in Tibet (a shocking environmental expose) , Eccentric Explorers (winner of Biography category, National Indie Excellence Awards, USA, 2009) , Shangri-La: a Guide to the Himalayan Dream (themed around the Himalayan utopia) and Tibet: the Bradt Travel Guide. Three ebooks published as Kindle editions are Eccentric Explorers; Travels in the Tibetan World (travel narrative, winner of Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award, USA, 2003) ; and Beastly Encounters (tracking near-mythical creatures to their lairs) . Although he travels world-wide, he is especially drawn to Southeast Asia and the Himalayan region. Related websites:
