    About this audiobook

    The fate of all fairy tales is at stake in Michael Buckley’s The Inside Story, the eighth adventure in the beloved New York Times bestselling Sisters Grimm series.

    Sabrina and Daphne Grimm have studied hundreds of stories as part of their training as fairy-tale detectives, but they never thought they’d actually be in one.

    And yet, that’s exactly what happens when they follow the diabolical Master into the Book of Everafter, a mysterious tome in which copies of the world’s fairy-tale characters live out their stories over and over again. The Grimms must track down the Master while avoiding the Book’s tyrannical Editor—who is devoted to keeping the stories on track—and his army of story-gobbling revisers. In the Book of Everafter, stories can be rewritten and destinies changed, which is why Sabrina and Daphne must find the Master before he can alter his own fate—and the fate of the whole world.

    The beloved Sisters Grimm series is the perfect opportunity for existing fans to revisit the adventures of the Grimm family and for new readers to discover the magic of the series for the first time.

    “Kids will love Sabrina and Daphne’s adventures as much as I did.”—Sarah Michelle Gellar, star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I Know What You Did Last Summer

      Sabrina, Daphne and Puck track Pinocchio and Mirror through the Book of Everafter. Fairy tale characters changing the stories inside a book of fairy tales — is this fairy tale Inception? A fun entry to the series, with great character development and a theme of destiny vs choices that plays out in multiple ways throughout the story.
    • 4/5
      This was a adventurous story that lead me through the fairy tales with the grimms. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this series and I cant wait to read more and more.
    • 3/5
      Great series, but this one installment really meanders on and on through too many fairy-tale steps. I don't want to say more to avoid SPOILER, but this one particular installment is a disappointment and I've given all the other installments (1 through 7) 5*****. Still, stuff happens in here that's going to be necessary for the concluding volume, so it has to be read.
    • 5/5
      The sister Grimm are on there last adventure or are they? Now they are chasing Mirror who has there baby brother. But they are in the everafter book and now they have to chase him down through the stores before Mirror takes control of the baby's body. They go through the stores of The Wonderful Land Of Oz, The Jungle Book, King Aurthur, Snow White, Aladdin, and Alice in Wonder Land. Soon they meat the author who keeps the stores from going out of line. Soon they get the baby back but at the lost of Granny. Puck has a crush on Sabrina but won't say it out loud. What will happen next in book 9?
    • 2/5
      Okay - I started this series while trying to find something my 7 year old granddaughter would like to read and that would also challenge her a bit. I have really enjoyed the series up to this point. This episode seemed to really just go on and on without saying much or moving the story along that much. I will read the last one, (thank goodness there is only one more), but I will definitely borrow it rather than buy it. So sorry, Mr. Buckley, but sometimes we really all need to learn how to let things go.
    • 5/5
      In the acknowledgments at the beginning of this, book 8 in the series, Michael Buckley comments that it was the hardest of all to write. And once I was reading it I could see why. The Inside Story starts off with Daphne and Sabrina, lost in a fairy tale in the book of Everafter. Puck, Mirror, Pinocchio and their baby brother are nowhere to be seen, and Sabrina is being plagued by indecision and small panic attacks from Mirrors evil revelation. If Puck hadn't appeared by the end of the chapter I might have been cruelly disappointed by book 8, but he did! And between him and Daphne they kept up the amusing banter that always has me laughing out loud and quickly recouped the story for me.Puck, oh Puck....one of the greatest 11ish boys on earth...or at least in the realm of story characters. No seriously, I drive the hubby mad wanting to read all of Pucks lines to him. He kills me! For instance, wanting to keep the headless horseman's smelly rotten head for his mantelpiece, obviously it would be a conversation piece. Particularly funny in The Inside Story, is Puck's determination that marrying Sabrina won't be that bad, everyone needs a wifely slave, and he spends most of the book planning the wedding, a very Pucktastic wedding (as Daphne would say). A slower book than The Everafter War, I still enjoyed it thoroughly (I did cruise through it in two days after all), though I noticed it had a definite added sparkle once Granny Relda showed up towards the end; I hadn't realised I'd been missing her up until that point. For a story which branches off from the majority of its usual characters, as well as it's usual location it's no wonder Michael Buckley found it hard to write, but he did a great job. Now my only worry is the to be concluded at the end!
    • 5/5
      Sabrina and Daphne are caught in the book of Everafter. They are moving throught the stories, trying to rescue their baby brother from the master. A fantastic, action packed story... I can't wait for the ninth and final book of the series!
    • 3/5
      I started reading this series and now I'm so far into it, that I'm stuck until it ends. (Please tell me it's going to end!)Unfortunately, with the later books, I have a lot of trouble concentrating. This book was better than the last one in that respect, but still had its moments of 'get on with it already'. Except that getting on with it is sort of the problem.There's a lot of plot and a lot of action, and my brain just shuts off. I suspect it's a boy type of story and I need more of a girl type of story. I need more time to sit down with the characters. I need a slower pace. I need fewer things to happen and more reaction to the things that happen.Oh, I suppose I should say what the book is about. The Grimm girls are fairy tale detectives, and in this book they're chasing down a bad guy who's kidnapped their baby brother. And they're doing so in a sort of master book of stories. So they go to Oz and and Mowgli's Jungle and things like that.Which is an interesting premise that's not used to its full advantage. Or, well, maybe just not used how I would use it.Anyway, just as the story starts getting really interesting and good again.. it ends. To be continued in the next book.So. Sigh. Mostly I guess I'd recommend it to kids who like plot who want/need to read more with female main characters.
    • 3/5
      Compared to the other Grimm books this one is a bit of a letdown. The story doesn’t move anywhere and it feels painfully drawn out. I also started to actually dislike Sabrina a little bit. Her impulsiveness and bad attitude got to me. I did like the character of the editor. I’m really hoping the next book is better.
    • 4/5
      This series continues with another exciting installment in which Sabrina, Daphne and Puck enter the original fairytales themselves in order to track down the mirror and save their brother from being possessed by him. As always very compelling, funny, and exciting, yet its very clearly a filler book, building up to the big conclusion, so not much actually is learnt and the book itself is shorter than its predecessors. Overall, slightly disapointing but Im eagerly awaiting the next one.
    • 5/5
      I loved it. It's a perfect climax to the last book. I did think it was a little fast paced, and rushed. Also, me, being a romanticist, was a little disappointed by the Puck-Sabrina ending. I hope it all ends nicely by the last book. Still, overall, a great book.
