''The Sisters Grimm'' is a series of fantasy mystery books by Michael Buckley. They're basically about one big old FracturedFairyTale, where the main protagonist, Sabrina Grimm, must solve crimes that happen in the small town of Ferryport Landing. Ferryport Landing is your everyday, run-of-the-mill town where nothing is what it seems and fairytale creatures, called Everafters, roam the streets. Sometimes, mass destruction follows them, and somehow, none of the humans notice the going-ons. Although, [[LaserGuidedAmnesia the forgetful dust does make humans forget what happened]].
The series is on-going. As of this writing, all the books, in order, are:

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, Puck is there to save the day, except it is Sabrina who solves most of the mysteries, by coincidence or logical reasoning.

The children were practically zombie slaves, the teachers were evil,[[spoiler:the school's guidance councilor tried to kill everybody, and the principal turned out to be the Pied Piper and was controlling the human students.]]

* BadFuture: Yes it was.

* BigDamnHeroes / TheCavalry: Puck has his moments, although he always tries to pass it off as a VillainousRescue. [[spoiler: So does Prince Charming.]]

* FirstGirlWins: Well, Puck did meet Sabrina first, and they do [[spoiler:end up together]]

* GrowingUpSucks: Puck even goes as far as saying that it's a disease, and it's all Sabrina's fault he is growing up. In his defense, it technically ''is'' her fault. [[spoiler: He slowly begins aging so he and Sabrina always appear to be the same age.]]

* MyNameIsNotDurwood: Puck and Mayor Charming have a problem with names. Ms. Smirt never refers to the sisters by their proper names.

* NightmareFace: One of the pictures of Little Red Riding Hood in the second book. See NightmareFuel below.

* DidNotDoTheResearch: In Magic and Other Misdemeanors, Sabrina is said to have a brown belt in Karate and Daphne to have a yellow belt. However, Magic and Other Misdemeanors takes place not even a year after Once Upon A Crime. Therefor, Sabrina earning a brown belt in Karate is illogical because it is the last belt before black belt, and as there has been no reference to previous martial arts training and seeing how short the time gap is, there would not be enough time between Once Upon A Crime and Magic and Other Misdemeanors for Sabrina to earn her brown belt.
** Future Sabrina also says that T-rexes were not native to North America while explaining the time rifts. T-rex fossils are found ''only'' in North America.

* HotMom: Veronica is said to be pretty hot. Even the prison guards were talking about her legs, much to Sabrina's chagrin.

* KnightInSourArmor
* KnightInShiningArmor

* MyNameIsNotDurwood: Puck and Mayor Charming have a problem with names.

* NeverMessWithGranny: Granny Relda's middle name should be badass, especially when she runs into Sabrina's room, uttering a battle cry and carrying a sword, ready to fight off whatever was threatening her granddaughter.
* NeverGrewUp: No Puck didn't.

* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Sabrina has to tell [[spoiler: her mom and dad]] that Puck is ''not'' her boyfriend as they watch him pull a prank on Sabrina.
