Eleven year-old Sabrina and seven year-old Daphne Grimm are descendants of Wilhelm Grimm, famed author of Grimm’s fairytales, and heirs to his legacy. Though the world believes that his fairytales are just made-up stories, it seems that Wilhelm did no more than write accounts of the fairy tale characters, or Everafters, whom he knew, and made it his life’s work to help them find safe refuge in an increasingly complex world.
In this fourth book of the Sisters Grimm series, Sabrina and Daphne leave Ferryport Landing for New York City with their Granny Relda, Mr. Hamstead, who is one of the Three Little Pigs, and Mr. Canis, The Big Bad Wolf, to seek help for Puck, the mischievous fairy who has been terribly injured protecting Sabrina from the Jabberwocky. It seems that Faerie, the Fairy Kingdom, is hidden somewhere in the city, and, to save Puck, the sisters and their friends must find it.
While Sabrina and Daphne do manage to locate the entrance to Faerie, their troubles aren’t over for, while they are there, Oberon, King of the Fairies, is murdered and the girls are called upon to investigate the crime and bring the perpetrator to justice. So begins their desperate bid to find the murderer and save the Kingdom of Faerie for its rightful heir.
Once Upon a Crime is a madcap adventure in which two rather brave girls pit themselves against fairies, pigs, magicians and a host of other magical creatures. This book will appeal to lovers of fairytales and fantasy who possess a strong sense of the absurd!
