The Unusual Suspects

A mystery at school leads the fairy-tale detectives to monsters in The Unusual Suspects, second in Michael Buckley’s beloved New York Times bestselling Sisters Grimm series.

For Sabrina Grimm, living in a community of fairy-tale characters means always being ready for trouble. And something is definitely wrong at her new school. The adults seem too angry, the kids seem too mean, and the gym teacher likes dodgeball way too much. Of course, her little sister, Daphne, is having the time of her life. (Who wouldn’t, with Snow White for a teacher—she’s great with little people!)

But when Sabrina’s teacher, Mr. Grumpner, is found dead, dangling in a giant spiderweb, even Daphne’s convinced that Ferryport Landing Elementary has a monster problem. Can the Sisters Grimm get to the bottom of this sticky situation?

Sabrina and Daphne 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 learn it is the Grimm family’s legacy to keep the Everafters in line and the two sisters are the sole heirs to this challenge!

The beloved Sisters Grimm series is the perfect opportunity for existing fans to revisit the adventures of the Grimm family, Mayor Charming (Prince Charming), The Pied Piper, Mr. Canis (The Big Bad Wolf), and Rumpelstiltskin, and for new readers to discover the magic of a series filled with suspense, adventure, and heart.

“The story is fast paced and the main characters are sympathetic and appealing.”—School Library Journal
