Coming face-to-face with their parents' kidnappers, the sisters are stunned when one of them turns out to be the world's most famous fairy-tale character (hint: she wears red) and the other an unstoppable killing-machine known as the Jabberwocky. Without the presumed-dead Mr. Canis (aka The Big Bad Wolf) fighting at their side, the girls have little hope that they'll ever be reunited with their mother and father. That is until their long-lost Uncle Jake returns home with stories of a weapon that can kill the Jabberwocky—a weapon so powerful that it had to be shattered into many pieces. Now the girls must find the pieces so the deadly weapon can be reformed. But to get the deed done they'll have to go head-to-head with the Wizard of Oz, the (not so) Little Mermaid, and even the horrible witch Baba Yaga. To complicate matters, Sabrina begins to struggle with an addiction to magic and finds herself unraveling a real-life family mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith an irresistible combination of adventure and imagination, the \u003ci\u003eSisters Grimm\u003c\/i\u003e series injects classic fairy tales with modern day sensibilities and suspense, creating a fantastical combination readers of all ages will love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Kids will love Sabrina and Daphne's adventures as much as I did.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Sarah Michelle Gellar, star of \u003ci\u003eBuffy the Vampire Slayer\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eI Know What You Did Last Summer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Adventure, laughs, and surprises kept me eagerly turning the pages.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - R.
