[책 소개]
수많은 고전 속 인물들을 등장시켜 동화를 새로이 해석하고, 그 문학적 토대 위에서 새로이 이야기를 풀어낸 책. 기존의 단순한 모험 판타지의 수준을 넘어 판타지와 고전의 만남 혹은 판타지를 통해 고전을 이해하는 차별화된 신개념 판타지 동화책이다.
유머 있는 캐릭터, 모험과 미스터리, 반전 등 판타지 동화가 갖는 재미를 품고 있으면서도 동화를 새로운 시선으로 바라보고, 이해할 수 있는 토대를 마련해 주고자 했다. 다양한 고전 동화 속 인물들의 등장은 마지막 장을 덮었을 때 마치 수십 권의 동화를 동시에 읽은 듯한 느낌을 준다.
상처를 가슴에 안고 있는 여자 아이들, 늙고 허약한 노인, 못된 짓만 일삼는 비뚤어진 성격, 명예욕에 사로잡힌 어른 등 등장인물들은 모두 어딘가 부족하고 어설프다. 이렇게 평범하고 그래서 더 친근한 등장인물들은 어려움에 부딪히고, 문제를 해결하는 과정 속에서 비로소 성장하며 서로를 이해하게 된다.

[줄거리]
그림 자매는 부모가 감쪽같이 사라져 버린 뒤, 사회 복지사에게 맡겨져 이 집 저 집을 떠돌다 자신들의 친할머니라고 주장하는 할머니 렐다를 만나 페리포트 랜딩에서 함께 살게 된다. 수백 개의 자물쇠가 달린 수상한 집과 집에게 말을 거는 별난 할머니, 그리고 비밀스러운 존재 카니스의 존재는 낯설고 수상쩍기만 하다. 더욱이 할머니는 그 유명한 그림 형제가 그들의 조상이며, 페리포트 랜딩의 이웃들이 사실은 고전 동화에 나오는 주인공들이라고 말한다. 그리고 동화는 그들의 이야기를 기록한 역사책이라고 말하는데….
사브리나는 할머니가 미쳤다고 생각하지만, 어느 날 그들 앞에 거인이 나타나 마을을 파괴하고, 할머니와 카니스 씨를 납치해 간다. 그런 가운데 부모의 납치범의 존재 또한 서서히 드러나고….

Fans of fractured fairy tales will be delighted to discover the fantasy, mystery, adventure, and humor in the beloved New York Times bestselling Sisters Grimm series by Michael Buckley, now with new cover art. As featured on NBC’s The Today Show, the nine wildly popular books are favorites around the world. They were among the first books to bring a distinctly girl-power spin to fairy tales?a spin taken up by hit movies and shows TV such as Once Upon a Time, Grimm, and Maleficent, the bestselling book series The Land of Stories, and other. New covers will appear on book one, The Sisters Grimm: The Fairy-Tale Detectives; book two, The Sisters Grimm: The Unusual Suspects; and book three, The Sisters Grimm: The Problem Child. Books four through nine will be available in revised editions soon. ?
In this first book in the series, orphaned sisters Sabrina and Daphne are sent to live with their recently discovered grandmother, Relda Grimm. The girls learn that they are descendants of the Brothers Grimm, whose famous tome of fairy tales is actually a history book. The girls are pitted against a giant, who has been rampaging through town. But who set the giant loose in the first place? Was it Mayor Charming (formerly Prince Charming), who has plans to get his kingdom back? The Three Not-So-Little Pigs, now working as police officers? Or a giant-killer named Jack, currently working at a Big & Tall store?
With an irresistible combination of adventure and imagination, the Sisters Grimm series injects classic fairy tales with modern day sensibilities and suspense, creating a fantastical combination readers of all ages will love.
“Kids will love Sabrina and Daphne’s adventures as much as I did.”
?Sarah Michelle Gellar, star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I Know What You Did Last Summer
“Adventure, laughs, and surprises kept me eagerly turning the pages.” ?R. L. Stine, author of the Goosebumps series
“Why didn’t I think of The Sisters Grimm? What a great concept!” ?Jane Yolen, award-winning author
“Terrific, head-spinning series . . . Rich in well-set-up surprises and imaginatively tweaked characters, this tongue-in-cheek frolic features both a pair of memorable young sleuths and a madcap plot with plenty of leads into future episodes.” ?Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Enormously entertaining, the book takes the fractured fairy-tale genre to new heights.” ?Time Out New York Kids
“An idea that will make other children’s book writers, and tons of aspiring ones, kick themselves for not thinking of it first.” ?The San Antonio Express-News
“A page-turner that incorporates humor, tension, suspense and a wild cast of characters, readers will have trouble putting this novel down.” ?The Dallas Morning News
“Quirky and reasonable characters, engaging writing, fresh fairy tale references, and a very real fantasy setting.” ?The Raleigh News and Observer, “Most Promising New Series”
“The twists and turns of the plot, the clever humor, and the behind-the-scenes glimpses of Everafters we think we know, will appeal to many readers.” ?Kliatt, starred review
