In Ferryport Landing, the Big Bad Wolf stands trial, and it's up to sisters Sabrina and Daphne Grimm to prove his innocence. As they delve into his infamous tale, Sabrina questions if justice means keeping him behind bars. With a kangaroo court poised to convict, the sisters must uncover hidden truths that could change everything. Will they save their friend, or is the real story more dangerous than they imagined? Dive into a world where fairy tales collide with mystery and adventure, and discover if justice can truly be served.

From the publisher

Fans of fractured fairy tales will be delighted to discover the fantasy, mystery, adventure, and humor in the beloved New York Times bestselling Sisters Grimm series by Michael Buckley, now with new cover art. In Ferryport Landing, everyone gets their day in court–even the Big Bad Wolf. Mr. Canis is put on trial for past crimes, and Mayor Heart’s kangaroo court is sure to find him guilty. It’s up to the Grimms to uncover evidence to save their friend, though Sabrina stars to wonder whether they would all be safer with the Wolf in jail. Despite her misgivings, Sabrina and her sister, Daphne, investigate what really happened in the Big Bad Wolf’s most famous tale–and the real story might bring long-awaited justice for more than just Mr. Canis!
