The Fairy-Tale Detectives by Michael Buckley

I read (and really enjoyed) this book and the rest of the books in the series years ago (well, 7 of them the author hadn't written the 8th and the 9th yet so I haven't read those).  I had to reread this first one because it was one of the books chosen for the One Book One Family book club and I remembered why I liked it so much. I like fairy-tales and the retelling of fairy-tales and this one has both old characters and new action.  Sabrina and Daphne Grimm have been abandoned by their parents and after some awful experiences in foster care have come to live with their Grandmother, Relda Grimm.  The problem is, their parents told them that she had died before they were born.  Sabrina is very suspicious of "Granny," especially when she starts spouting crazy stories about how the fairy-tale characters are real and living in their town and it's the Grimm family's job to keep them in line.  The Sisters Grimm is a great series.
