This is a great book. The whole Little Red Riding Hood idea is really good. Once again, Michael Buckley has turned fairytales upside down!!BUT, I must say a few things. 1. WHERE IS THE ROMANCE??? I am not a huge romance fan, haven't read the Twilight books or anything, but I feel Sabrina and Puck should like each other more. They did kiss, but when they were handcuffed together and Puck told her she was pretty, I wished Sabrina had said, "Thank you Puck." And squeesed his hand or something. 2.I read this one last week and finally we get some uplift.At the end of the last book members of the Scarlet Hand had made themselves known to the Grimms. Some of them are shocking suprizes because the Grimms had thought them friends.Mr. Canis is in jail and goes on trial for his life for the murder of Red Riding Hood's grandmother. When the family finally sees him after getting Robin Hood to be his attorney we see him almost completely transformed. Trial begins the next day and the prosecuter
I think it's sad how Mr. Canis has the wolf inside of him. And he starts to lose control of the wolf and starts becoming more and more like the wolf, but they find out how to take the wolf outside of him. They are really surprised about this because the wolf can come out of him with a kazoo. but it works.
"he needs us to rescue him. we are grimms. this is what we do" 3.5 stars. This was probably my second least favorite in the series. There was so much ANGST and miscommunication. Sabrina and Daphne spent so much of the book either ignoring each other or arguing for no reason. Sabrina was so angry for the whole book and it makes sense because she's starting to go through puberty but her whole family treats her as if she's a villain because she's looking at this case differently than everyone
The most redeeming thing in this book is the twist on the Red Riding Hood story.
Once again I am using the Sisters Grimm as a palate cleanser between heavier reading and they come through for me again. This one didn't move the storyline along as much as I had hoped, but it gave me enough answers to want to keep reading the series.
The children meet Robin Hood and many other characters from legend (although since he supposedly existed I wouldn't classify him as a fairy tale). However, the excited Daphne still acts like her 5-year-old self, and big sister Sabrina can't decide if she is a petulant 9 year old or an almost 12 year old, and acts bratty and mean. As the Sheriff of Nottingham hustles the court through a travesty of a trial, Sabrina takes something from her sister and uses it. Daphne does not react kindly towards
