Horn Book Review

Buckley's recap of all things Sisters Grimm resembles a scrapbook--with cheeky comments scribbled throughout by prankster Puck. "Historical info," including a family tree and timeline, is followed by profiles of modern-day Grimms, their friends, and their foes. Buckley includes snippets about real-life fairy-tale writers, but the real fun is in his Everafter-related "documents," such as a flyer for Snow White's self-defense class. (c) Copyright 2012.
