Snacks
I will bring a snack for the group each month. If you'd like to bring a snack to share (maybe something related to the corresponding month's read) that would great. Please just let me know. Also make sure you bring a water bottle.

Discussion Questions
This is YOUR book club. I will be the moderator but I'd like the discussions to come from each of you. As you are reading the book, please think of questions or comments that you would like to share with the group. If you absolutely love the book and would like to lead the meeting, please let me know.

Our First Book
In book one of this bestselling series, sisters Sabrina and Daphne are sent to live with their mysterious grandmother, Relda Grimm. The sisters learn they are descendants of the Brothers Grimm, whose famous book of fairy tales is actually a collection of case files. The girls are the latest in a long line of fairy-tale detectives, and their new hometown is filled with Everafters (as magical folks like to be called)—some good and some very, very bad. When a mysterious Everafter sets a giant loose on the town, it’s up to the Sisters Grimm to save the day.

There are plenty of copies in the Carroll County and Baltimore County Public Library systems.
