The case: someone is going around town stealing magical artifacts, including one that lets a person travel through time. Meanwhile, the Queen of Hearts and the Sheriff of Nottingham are in charge of Fairyport Landing now and are enforcing (surprise, surprise) high taxes and working to free the Everafters from the charm keeping them in the town's boundaries.

Not as charming as the others so far, but ends with a huge cliffhanger.

I've been enjoying the series til now, but the author used the word "bejesus" in here.

In a children's book? Really? That's a cuss word same as taking the Lord's name in vain or a variety of others. POOR JUDGEMENT.

These books were really good but they just got too dark towards the end.

As a law student, I just adore the title of this book, though I have to say some of the things going on in this book are definitely felonies. This series has continued to be good fun. It’s turning drker and more intense, but it still has a wonderful tone, and I love how much is crammed into each book. Can’t wait to get my hands on the next one.

“Magic and other Misdemeanors” is another gripping addition to Michael Buckley’s “The Sisters Grimm Series.” 

This was one of my favourite middle grade series growing up and I’m so excited to revisit it as an adult to see how it holds up. The book is just as whimsical as I remembered, taking the classic fairytales and turning them on their heads. 

“Magic and Misdemeanors” is the most buck wild book in the “Sisters Grimm” series (at least so far). The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been with more and more of the town turning against the Grimm family. 

This book still had a mystery for the Grimms to solve—with Sabrina and Daphne taking lead on the investigation—but it serves as the tipping point for the larger plot Buckley’s been leading up to—who is the Scarlet Hand and how do the Grimms save the day?

The book entertains me in a very uplifting and pleasant way. I am always delighted listening to the audio book. The characters in the book are so vivid and I love them all.
