Sabrina will be the willful child who doesn't listen to common sense or her grandmother, determined she knows best, and then muddles things up and ends up learning a valuable life lesson. Phoebe is the innocent naive one who will try and be her sister's conscious and inevitably gets dragged into trouble by her sister. Puck is the villain with a heart of gold who is torn in two directions. How am I doing so far? This was fun, but I didn't feel the driving need to continue with the series as I had after the last one. I will probably pick it up again at a later date since all the books are on Kindle Unlimited, which I've paid for already, but not for a while yet. On the whole, I enjoyed The Problem Child, the third entry in the Sisters Grimm, Fairy Tale Detectives series. I thought it did a good job of presenting the problem of relying on a 'crutch' to deal with fear and powerlessness. We find out how Basil Grimm died and that the girls have another relative or two. (Talk about the road to hell being paved with good intentions!) The mayoral election subplot was a little too apt 10 years after it was written. How will the results pan out in future books? We also learn one of the consequences of the Big Bad Wolf's evil deeds and how that consequence has impacted his Grimm friends. Baba Yaga was as scary as I recall from Russian fairy tales. The Blue Fairy was interesting. Corrections: a. The monster is a Jabberwock, not a Jabberwocky. b. 'Jabberwocky,' the poem in which the Jabberwock appeared, is from Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, not Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. c. There is no proof in the pudding. That's a corruption of 'The proof of the pudding is in the eating'. Most corruptions of famous sayings make sense. This one doesn't. d. If you read Hans Christian Anderson's 'The Little Mermaid', (something I don't recommend if you feel depressed), the entire scene involving her should not have been able to take place. It's a good scene, though. e. In the Oz books, Glinda is the Good Witch of the South. The MGM movie combined her with the good (but not pretty) witch of the North. L. J. Ganser's narration continues to be enjoyable. I must return to my local library to check out book four. The Problem Child is about two girls named Sabrina and Daphne. They live with there grandmother. They become detectives in a place called Ferryport Landing. I liked this book because it has all the fairy tale characters in it. This book tells you what happened to the fairy tale characters. I liked this book. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
