A year and a half ago, the parents of Sabrina (aged 11) and Daphne (7) Grimm disappeared without a trace, and since then the girls have had a miserable time in care. Now they're being send to Ferry-port to go and live with the Grandmother who they were told had died before they were born.
While Daphne is more then happy to accept this turn of affairs, Sabrina is very distrustful and immediately starts preparing to run away.
Ferry-port is nothing like teh world the girls are used to though, and the girls have to adjust to the fact that they are direct descendants from the Brothers Grimm, that fairy-tales are actually factual histories and that their new home is inhabited by exiled "ever-afters". If they don't adjust they won't be able to safe their gran from a giant and take up their role as fairy-tale detectives.
This book was great fun.
