''The Sisters Grimm'' is a series of fantasy mystery books by Michael Buckley.

The main protagonist, Sabrina Grimm, and her eight-year-old sister, Daphne Grimm, are related to Creator/TheBrothersGrimm. You know, the guys who made all of those fairy tales. To make a long story short, the girls' parents disappear mysteriously. The girls skip around foster homes, which ensures the fact that Sabrina will be TheSnarkKnight. They go to live with a grandmother they didn't know they had. Sabrina meets the bane of her existence in the form of Puck, a four-thousand-year-old fairy prince turned king. They have to defeat the UltimateEvil by solving a series of mysteries that eventually lead up to a war with the Scarlet Hand, an evil group of Everafters.

Almost always, Sabrina, Puck, and Daphne save the day, with the protagonist Sabrina solving most of the mysteries, by coincidence or logical reasoning.
