I'm pretty much only still reading this series out of sheer perseverance to complete the storyline and find out what happens to everyone. I need my 'happily ever after'. However, Buckley is just stretching it out for all it's worth, probably literally.
Pros: Sabrina finally gets some character development. All she has been up until now is an angry pre-teen. There haven't been any moments of true understanding or growth; little flickers, maybe, that quickly get extinguished by returning to her typ...more

I recently read The Sister’s Grimm The Everafter War book 7. It was published in 2009. The author is Michael Buckley. There 306 pages in this book. This book is intended for 5th to 9th graders.
The main issue is the Scarlet Hand has taken over Ferryport Landing. The setting is in Camp Charming. The main characters are Sabrina Grimm. She hates fairy-tales. All she wants is a normal life. Daphne Grimm Loves fairy-tales. She wants to follow the family business.

If you haven’t tried any of The Sisters Grimm series, I’ll fill you in a little. Sabrina and Daphne Grimm are sisters who find out The Grimm Brother stories are actually a history of all the crimes committed by fairy tale characters. The girls are part of a long line of detectives from the Grimm family whose job it is to investigate the fairy tale crimes. In each book the girls do some sleuthing to figure out which fairy tale characters have been behaving badly.

Overall, I really really loved this book.
It had danger, consequences, huge reveals, and character development.
I needed to know what was going to happen and I was satisfied with the results although I saw most of them coming but not overtly obvious. There was one major plot point that I completely missed and was shocked to discover. Things just got real, y'all.

My kids and I are probably a little demented but we LOVE this series and laugh at all the awkward moments between Puck and Sabrina for they are just so much fun. So often my kids and I listen to books that are so serious and young adult, but a little more complex or mature. This is just great for the story is complex yet the humor is appropriate (and even a little immature -- pegausus fed chili dogs and prune juice for a week!) It is a continuation of the Master VS the Grimm Family and in this s...more

I know these books are for kids, but it sure strikes me that the publisher is trying to milk this series for as much cash as possible. This is less a series than one story spread over at least 8 hardcover books (at $16 a pop). The whole thing would probably fill less real pages than an average Harry Potter book. The problem for me is that this format just makes the story drag, so it's not sustaining my interest.

My Take:
Again, this series really picked up from book 5 on. I was so surprised that the Mirror is the Master. It is sad because it’s not because he’s evil, he just wanted a life too, a normal life, not one of servitude trapped inside a mirror unable to ever leave. The baby was a huge surprise – I want the next book now so I can see what happens. Why was he stolen? Does he have any powers as a side effect of being born during a slumber spell? What is his role in the story going to be? I liked the...more

An open rant:
I could get really detailed in my review, talking about the prose, strengths of writing or not, and the handling or failing to handle subtle plot points.
But why? Just because I think these books are great does not make them so, but to detail everything that is wrong with them would not help anyone's experience. In my opinion, at least.
It's not the best one out of the series, yet, but I'm not giving up hope. Have you ever read something that just takes you to another world? Where y...more

I read this book months ago. I was eager to to find out who the "Master" was. I was suprized but at the same time it made a lot of sense. Shortly after the story begins we finally see Sabrina's parents wake up. I hate that they don't show the family's reaction to their waking up. Sabrina runs away when she thinks they have failed and doesn't realized it worked until her parents come to her rescue.
We see the parents reactions to what their lives have been while they were asleep. The Everafters h...more

The Everafter War’ by Michael Buckley is the sequel to the sixth book in the Sister’s Grimm series, ‘Tales From the Hood.’ In the seventh book, Daphne and her older sister Sabrina have gotten into more mishap and magic than before. With their parents finally awake from the spell, the Scarlet Hand has already taken over Ferryport Landing. After being asleep for nearly two years, the parents are confused of what is going on. The Grimm family will have to join forces with the ex mayor of Ferryport...more
I know this series is meant for more of a middle school reading level, at least what is considered the average level, but I started to read this for fun and short in the 6th grade and felt obligated to finish it.
I absolutely LOVE how Buckley puts a twist on fairy tails and folklore from all authors. The sisters in this series are descendants to Wilhelm Grimm, one of the Grimm brothers, and have fallen into the family traction as Fairy tail detectives!

All the work and wishing is finally coming to a close: Sabrina and Daphne Grimm's parents - who were trapped for the past 2 years in sleeping spell - finally awake. But before the celebrations can start, the reality of civil war between Everafters (the characters of folk and fairytales) overtakes them all. The Grimms after centuries of neutrality, are forced to take sides.

This series has its good points -- female protagonists, some cool characters, humor. And its bad points -- too much action, too many characters, uncertainty of tone, chaos.
This particular book is all about a war, so it's a lot of battles and well, that was the most boring of the LotR movies, so I certainly think it's the most boring of these books. Also, Puck is getting increasingly gross. If this series is trying to be aimed at girls, or girls and boys, it's leaning a little too heavily on the...more

The moment Sabrina and Daphne Grimm have been waiting for has finally arrived - their parents have been awoken from their magical slumber. But it is not the joyful reunion they imagined it to be. They are in the middle of a fairy tale war and must decide if they will step up and fight.

After spending two years in an enchanted sleep, Sabrina and Daphne's parents have finally woken up. The happy reunion that Sabrina has always envisioned turns out a little differently. Two years have passed in which they have been through many things. They are not the same girls their parents knew, but it takes time for Henry, Veronica, Sabrina and Daphne to get used to each other again. Meanwhile it's quite a surprise for Henry and Veronica to wake up in a Ferryport Landing that is preparing fo...more
This is the seventh book in this series, which I have for the most part enjoyed. This book seemed kinda rushed to me and with a title "The Everafter War" I would have expected the Grimms to be more involved in the action of that but they spend more time argueing amonst themselves than anything. I would have enjoyed a plot more along the lines of the other books with them actively doing more.

Thank goodness for Puck. He's gross and dirty, but at least he kept this war-themed book light and fun. Sabrina and Daphne's parents have finally woken from their deep sleep spell but things aren't all roses and lollipops like the girls had hoped. In this book we finally found out the identity of The Master - not shocking but an interesting twist. And Pinocchio's army of marionettes may possibly be the creepiest minions ever. This wasn't our favorite book in the series but we're looking forward...more
Great, just like the rest of the series. I loved that the girls did what their parents said, even if they disagreed. It's much more realistic that way. TV likes to have these "Children Rebellions", but from what I've seen there's more arguing as the kids reluctantly do what they're supposed to. And I liked that even though Sabrina and Daphne are right, it's easy to understand why their dad wants to leave as soon as possible, especially since the last time he saw his daughters they were 5 and 9,...more
Sabrina and Daphne's parents awaken, war breaks out in Ferryport and the secret identity of the Red Hand is finally revealed. What's not to like in this book? Questions get answered, problems resolved, and there's still two books to go!

What I thought was going to be a rousing finale to the series(from the horse's mouth at a book signing....)was another rousing, tantalizing crest with the dreaded, "to be continued..."
Having read through the first five books and now books six and seven for the first time, I have enjoyed how the characters have been very consistent and how Everyafters have joined the present. And I was surprised how much I dislike Sabrina! She's a reall pill! LOL! But then she probably gets that from Henry.....

Seriously? Pinocchio goes over to the dark side because he's tired of being a little boy? When Buckley has been telling us for seven books that Everafters CAN grow up and/or older if they choose to?
Just par for the course in this confused, contradictory, and all-too-often poorly written series. At least the narrative moved along faster and with fewer distractions than in the previous book. Mirror as the Big Bad Guy was a shocker, too.

I read this in all hopes and anticipation of this being the last book. I quite enjoyed the beginning of the series, I think the author did a pretty good job at setting up the story, it is very creative, I enjoy the characters, etc... I just feel like dragging this on to more books is now just dragging out the series. I am now just sticking with it because I want to see the happily ever after ending. I was really looking forward to this being the last book, but alas, my hopes were dashed. Better...more

When their house gets attacked they go to Camp Charming, where the Everafters against the Scarlet Hand are. They get attacked in several ways and fight back. Pinocchio turns out to be part of the Scarlet Hand and Mirror, who was a friend of the Grimms turns out to be the Master.

This book is gripping and you won't be able to put the book down unless you really need to go to the bathroom (or in some cases scream at the amazingness). It keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time and afterwords you can't stop thinking about what just happened in this addition to the series.

“Puck swung the cannon around in anger. The nozzle spun and hit Sabrina in the chest. The force was so pawerful she was knocked right off the platform and fell backward off the tower. She saw sky above her and felt the wind in her hair. How ironic, she thought, as she fell to her certain death, that at that moment she would have given anything to be a giant goose again.
Air rushed past Sabrina's ears and suddenly she felt her back tingling again. A moment later she was hanging upside down, inches from the ground. She looked up to find her savior, only to find that her her wasn't a person but a long, furry tail sticking out of the back of her pants. It was wrapped around a beam in the tower a kept her swinging there like a monkey.
Puck floated down to her, his wings flapping softly enough to allow him to hover.
"I bet you think this is hilarious. Look what you did to me with your stupid pranks. I have a tail!" she raged.
Puck's face was trembling. "I'm sorry."
"What?" Sabrina said blankly.
"I almost killed you. I'm sorry, Sabrina," he said, rubbing his eyes on his filthy hoodie. He lifted her off the tower and set her on the ground.
"Since when do you care?" Sabrina said, still stunned by the boy's apology.”

“Puck turned to Sabrina. "What is she doing down there?"
Hiding, I guess."
Puck leaned down and poked his head under the seat. "I found you."
Ms. Smirt shrieked.
Puck lifted himself up to his full height and laughed. "She's fun."
He leaned back down and she screamed again. "I could do this all day. Can I keep her?”
