The Grimms defend Mr. Canis in Ferryport Landing’s trial of the century!

This book sees Mr. Canis, dear friend and protector of the Grimm family, put on trial for past crimes. Considering that he’s really the Big Bad Wolf, he has a lot to answer for. Is there any truth to the story told by Little Red Riding Hood? What’s the deal with all that huffing and puffing? Will Mr. Canis be forced to answer for his crimes?

A kangaroo court of Everafters, led by the cruel Queen of Hearts, is determined to find Canis guilty and force the Grimms out of Ferryport Landing. Meanwhile, Puck has decided to focus more on his mischievous ways, making a few new troublemaker friends. So it’s up to Sabrina and Daphne to find evidence to save Canis—and their investigation may reveal more than they hoped.

Readers have embraced the first five books in the series, and this gripping courtroom drama won’t disappoint.

More About the Author

After a tragic accident I was bombarded with gamma radiation. Days later, I awoke to discover I had changed. Now when I am angered I transform into an enormous, green monster people have come to call "The Hulk." I faked my own death and I'll stay dead until I can learn to control the savage monster inside me. Wait a minute - that's the bio for Bruce Banner! No, I grew up in Akron, Ohio -- nowhere near any lab where gamma radiation research was going on. When I was a kid I was a roller boogie fanatic but that hardly makes me a monster...even if people were injured a few times when I would "shoot the duck." No, the closest thing I have to a monster inside me are my Incredible Hulk underoos! Does that count?

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Exciting Grimm Sisters Tale, April 16, 2008

Book 6 is another quick and exciting read in the Sisters Grimm story. It would also seem that it might be a pivotal edition: the girls are growing up, old characters leave, new characters enter, and the Scarlet Hand has taken over Ferryport Landing. As good as this book was (and it didn't disappoint for a moment), I'm more eager to see what the next couple of books will mean for the girls.

This review is from: Tales from the Hood (Sisters Grimm, Book 6) (Hardcover)

For everyone looking for a good book to read...THIS is it! from the first to the 6th so far every word has kept my attention. the adventure, drama, and even comedy are something children and adults can enjoy. I am 15 years old and still read these. I read clips to my mother and she is rolling laughing by the time I finish.

They are simple reads with easy language yet filled with exciting events that will keep you wanting more!!

I hear the 7th book isn't coming out until Fall 2009. A bit a wait yes, but SOO worth it!!

Can't wait!!

P.S. suggested series' "Septimus Heap", "The Spiderwick Chronicles" and "A Series of Unfortunate Event". Check em out!!

This review is from: Tales from the Hood (Sisters Grimm, Book 6) (Hardcover)

I really enjoyed this book! From the first page to the last I was sitting on the edge of my seat! Sabrina is growing up, painfully but surely. I completely understand what she's going through! And Puck is well, maturing! <gasp> Daphne is growing up too, I don't know about you but I miss the happy-go-lucky little girl I've come to love. Unfortunately, she has to grow up too... The last page left me hanging, already I'm dying to know what happens next!! A perfect read for anyone who loves mystery and fairy tales!
