Intrepid fairy-tale detectives Sabrina and Daphne Grimm investigate a sudden streak of magical thefts that might add up to a very grim future for their family, who are not so popular in Ferryport Landing these days. With Granny Relda desperately scrambling to pay Mayor Heart’s
outrageous taxes on humans, the Sisters Grimm tackle their first solo case—with a little help from Puck, of course.
Meanwhile, their old friend Mr. Canis seems to be losing his grip on his human self, becoming more like the Big Bad Wolf every day. Can Sabrina and Daphne solve the crime and change their family’s future for the better?
The beloved Sisters Grimm series is the perfect opportunity for existing fans to revisit the adventures of the Grimm family and for new readers to discover the magic of the series for the first time.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I'm not sure if I just wasn't in the proper mood or if I'm tiring of these tales, but the fifth installment of The Sisters Grimm just didn't do as much for me as the previous books in the series. It's not that I didn't enjoy it - it was a fun read. I just kept thinking 'Come on already.' It was exciting, and the storyline kept my interest. I guess I was hoping for a teensy bit of closure, and with this one I felt I got more unanswered questions instead. I'm still looking forward to book six, just perhaps not as much as I was looking forward to book five.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Grimm family is all back together at Ferryport Landing. The girls are finally being trained as fairy-detectives after Sabrina in the last book admitted that she did want to stay in the family business. And they are also taking things into their own hands by inviting princesses and others who were placed under spells to help figure out a way to wake up Henry and Veronica Grimm. But true help comes from an unexpected place.
But before they learn the secret/loophole, the girls are whisked away to find the truth about who exactly is stealing from the witches. By combining the magical items that are being stolen, strange effects are happening, including people and creatures coming and going from the past and future. And what will the girls do when they are pulled into the future and see their friends and themselves?
Meanwhile, Granny Grimm fights to keep her home. Mayor Heart wants to run out all the humans from Ferryport Landing; therefore, she has given them all a ridiculous tax on their houses, forcing them to leave. Somehow Granny manages to put together the fee, but after she pays it, Nottingham ups the fee.
In this book, the girls must face themselves and their destinies. They must fight to change the future. But most of all, they must somehow find away to stay at Ferryport Landing by solving a mystery that they may never solve. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In this newest Sisters Grimm mystery, magical artifacts are stolen from Everafters. But before Sabrina and Daphne can track down the culprit, they are sucked into a time portal and dumped fifteen years into the future. The future is a grim place; the Master and the Scarlet Hand have taken over the world. Sabrina and Daphne have to find a way back to their own time and prevent this future from coming true.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5By the end of this book, things were getting pretty exciting. Sabrina and Daphne get some real insight into members of the Scarlet Hand, and the tables really start to turn in Ferryport Landing. This book was probably my favourite one since the first novel, and I’m hoping that the rest of the series continues to be as fun.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was another great book in the The Sisters Grimm. I can't wait for the next book in the series!
