The Problem Child – Michael Buckley (Author), Peter Ferguson (Illustrator) (2007)
The third book in The Sisters Grimm series, this book begins seconds after The Unusual Suspects ends.
Puck and Sabrina are face to face with the mentally unstable little girl who has kidnapped Sabrina and Daphne’s parents, Veronica and Henry Grimm.
Though the little girl escapes, with the Grimm parents, at least Sabrina knows her parents are alive now.
But the knowledge that her parents are still alive does not diminish her wish to find her parents, in fact it spurns Sabrina on to dangerous and desperate heights.
The sisters also meet yet another long lost and very forgotten relative.
I was reading this book late into the night, and as I got to the very thrilling ending, two of the full-page illustrations were terrifying to me!
The Jabberwocky is not to be taken lightly, he is as terrifying as Lewis Carroll intends.
The Sisters Grimm Series Book #3 Followed By: Once Upon a Crime
