Reviews

Gr 4-7-Humans are being forced out of Fairyport Landing by the new mayor, the Queen of Hearts, and her right hand man, the Sheriff of Nottingham. The only humans left are the Grimm family (descendants of the Brothers Grimm), and now their protector, Mr. Canis (the Big Bad Wolf), is in jail for past crimes. While the family and their lawyers (Sherwood Associates) attempt to clear him, Canis is slowly losing hold of his human side and is slipping more and more into the character of the Big Bad Wolf. Will the kangaroo court convict Mr. Canis? What really happened to Red Riding Hood? Should Mr. Canis be saved? Michael Buckley's fast-paced tale (Amulet Books, 2008) features twists, turns, and side plots that will intrigue listeners. L.J. Ganser's narration is dramatic and he provides different voices and accents for the characters. A great addition to the series and a must-have for fans of the previous titles.-Laura Davies, Kenton County Public Library, KY Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
