Publisher's summary

The recently orphaned Sisters Grimm find out from their Granny, who they thought was dead, that they're descendents of the legendary Brothers Grimm. Now they must take over the family responsibility of being fairy tale detectives in a town where fairy tales are real. Their first case: a giant is destroying the town and it may have something to do with a boy named Jack and a certain famous beanstalk.

Audible, you're ridiculous!!!

Audible, this is ridiculous!!! I just wanted to rate this book and not write a review. Having to write reviews in order to rate has prevented me from rating at all. I just want to give props to enjoyable reads . I will just copy and paste this "review" going forward.

Revisiting from childhood

I’ve only read these books once; I was the perfect age demo when they were originally released on paperback in the 2000s and it’s the only childrens series I cared about long enough to finish as a 17 year old. I honestly have so much nostalgia for these books and this audible version made me feel like a kid again excited that two girls were the lead of an action adventure story. highly recommend.

A great beginning to a really intriguing series

The story is short and sweet with likable and questionable characters. A good read for families though I’ve enjoyed them as an adult woman with no children.

Share it with Your Kids!

Okay, it's not Harry Potter, but it's enchanting in it's own way. The characters are well done, and the story is clever.

LoveThisBook

My grandchildren and I have been listening to this book and having a wonderful time. They laugh out loud several times a night. We can't wait to get to the rest of the series. I highly recommend it.

Great for the kids and I

This is a great story that the whole family would enjoy. Six hours is not enough for the money though.

Enjoyable Story

Would you listen to The Fairy-Tale Detectives again? Why?

I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who listens with their kids. My kids really loved how the fairy tale stories and characters are woven into the story. I will be downloading more from the series.

Not just a childrens book

I thought I'd try this because audible had on sale. I was not disappointed. Cute, funny, charming, in more ways than one. The fairy-tale detectives starts out really well in this first book in series. I will most likely get the next because it was so amusing.
