The Sisters Grimm, The Problem Child, Book 3. By Michel Buckley June 1st.

In this series the Sisters Grimm, Daphne and Sabrina Grimm. The decendants of the Brothers Grimm. Are looking for their parents, who were stolen by an Everafter. Everafters are fairytail creatures, only they are alive and well in the books. This book in particular, the Sisters Grimm are looking for their parents. When searching for the kidnaper, they run into their Uncle Jake, And the Jabberwocky, a mythical creature from Alice's Adventures In Wonderland by Louis Carol. The owner of the jabberwocky is Little Red Riding Hood. The start of the book is when Sabrina lit a match (in the last book) and ended up in the FerryPort Landing Assylm. Where Little Red was keeping her parents captive. Puck, know as the trickster king, and known well from Shakespeare's A Midsummers Night Dream, rescues her. But in the hospital for her broken arm, he happens to write Captain Dootie Face, and draw a mustache on her face with permant marker. (Lukily it fades) And much to suprise in the book, Puck and Sabrina have a very ocward first kiss in front of thousands of screaming monkeys in Puck's room. But it comes to a good thing because it means Puck will do anything for her. To kill Red Riding Hood's Jabberwocky, they need the vorpal sword. The Sisters Grimm's leagal gardian and Grandmother, Relda, has the first peice, The Little Mermaid has the second, and Babba Yaga has the last. The pieces are put together by the Blue Fairy, and put to use imediantly. The reason the girls parents were stolen was learned when it was realized that Red Riding Hood was insane, litarally. She fantasises about making a family that she never had. with a baby brother, mom, dad, puppy, kitty, and grandmother. Sadly she has been trying to take as many of those things as possible from the Sisters Grimm. In the end all is well  just like in regular fairytails.
   I Really enjoyed this book, and would recomend it for 9-13 year olds. Over all i rate this book a 5 out of five, wonderfully writen and created, the caracters semm amazingly real. I've enjoyed the series so far and look forward to telling you about the next book. Once Upon A Crime. Happy reading!
