Synopsis

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

Sabrina and Daphne are off to school. Daphne loves being in class with Snow White as a teacher, but Sabrina’s having a tougher time–she keeps getting teased and beat up. Things don’t get any better when Puck joins her class! But even Daphne can’t deny there are monsters loose in the school and they’......more

Goodreads review by Cassandra on April 21, 2024

This was an absolute blast from the past. I remembered most of the twists because they were such good ones that they had stuck with me from when I was a kid. Sabrina is incredibly angry in this book, and while some of it is understandable and normal, I’m glad Granny Relda calls her out for her bigot......more
