The Unusual Suspects (The Sisters Grimm Series #2) by Michael Buckley

The Unusual Suspects (The Sisters Grimm Series #2) by Michael Buckley is about Sabrina and Daphne, the Grimm Sisters, and their adventures as fairy tale detectives. Along with their Grandmother Relda, their faithful companion Mr. Canis, and the Trickster King (aka Puck), the girls do their best to keep the peace between the humans and the Everafters in their little town. In this adventure, something mysterious is happening at the local elementary school. Daphne, Sabrina, and even Puck work together to find out why all of the school children are exhausted every day, who the strange monsters invading the school and killing teachers are, and what they all have in common with a little boy named Wendell who can control animals with his harmonica! You won't believe the twists and turns in this one!


This book was just as good as the first. I liked how the author dealt with prejudice in this book. Sabrina learned a valuable lesson about discrimination, and so will the readers. This book was more violent than the first, with people actually being killed, so it may not be a good choice for younger readers.
