Description

The Inside Story is the eighth book in the Sisters Grimm series written by Michael Buckley. The book follows the adventures of Sabrina and Daphne Grimm as they navigate a world where fairy tales are real. The girls must solve a mystery that takes them inside the world of their own stories, where they encounter familiar characters and dangerous situations. The fate of all fairy tales is at stake in this eighth adventure in the beloved series. After the shocking ending of The Everafter War, this book picks up with Sabrina, Daphne, and Puck stuck in the Book of Everafter, where all the fairy tales are stored and enchanted characters can change their destinies. The girls (and Puck) must chase the Master through a series of stories, where they’re willing to change what they need in order to save their baby brother. Soon, however, they are confronted by the Editor—the book’s guardian—who, along with an army of tiny monsters known as Revisers, threatens the children with dire consequences if they don’t stick to the stories. As they chase their quarry and dodge the Revisers, they meet Alice, Mowgli, Jack the Giant Killer, Hansel and Gretel, the Headless Horseman, and more. But will they find their brother in time?
