Sabrina and Daphne Grimm, orphaned sisters with very different personalities, find their lives turned upside down when they are sent to live with their distant relatives in a peculiar town called Ferryport Landing. What seems like an ordinary, albeit strange, new home quickly reveals itself to be a gateway to an extraordinary secret: their family are the guardians of a hidden world where all the characters from classic fairy tales live, often with unexpected twists. The girls learn that they are destined to inherit this role, becoming the next generation of the legendary Sisters Grimm, tasked with keeping the peace and protecting the magical realm from chaos. As Sabrina, the pragmatic and initially skeptical elder sister, and Daphne, the imaginative and readily enchanted younger sister, navigate this bewildering new existence, they must learn to trust each other and their newfound abilities. They encounter beloved and infamous fairy-tale figures, some friendly and others quite dangerous, and find themselves embroiled in mysteries that require them to think like detectives. The story compellingly weaves together themes of family legacy, the courage to believe in the unbelievable, and the profound power of stories. Its appeal lies in its inventive reimagining of familiar folklore, the engaging contrast between the two sisters, and the thrilling adventure of uncovering secrets and facing down fantastical threats, all while forging their own path as unexpected heroes.
