The Book That Changed My Life

My absolute favorite series is The Sisters Grimm by Michael Buckley. This series tells about 2 little girls that move with their grandma into a town that consists of all different fairy tale characters. These characters are in disguise but are known to the town that they are actually these characters. I really just like these books because of the pure fantasy and un-reality of them. They explain things that are never possible, and they tell you about new stories with the "old characters." Buckley almost tells new stories about old fairytales using the background information from the real stories. He gives them so many more features and life like qualities than the actual stories, it feels like you can actually relate to them as more "real people." Although these books don't relate to my life, I really feel like these books are what I wanted my childhood to be like. I always wanted to explore and have magical powers, so reading these books kind of gave me an escape to my dream world!
