So, of course, TGL had to be mine.Įlizabeth, our main character in The Grimm Legacy is someone with an adventurous spirit, although it is a hesitant adventurous spirit at first. It's about fairy tales, objects from fairy tales and in a way, about the Brothers Grimm, whom I'm very fond of. That cover! It's gorgeous and I had to have it. I bought The Grimm Legacy for 2 reasons: 1. When the magical objects start to disappear, Elizabeth and her new friends embark on a dangerous quest to catch the thief before they’re accused of the crime themselves-or the thief captures them. That’s where the librarians lock away powerful items straight out of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales: seven-league boots, a table that produces a feast at the blink of an eye, Snow White’s stepmother’s sinister mirror that talks in riddles and has a will of its own. It’s also home to the Grimm Collection, a secret room in the basement.


It lends out objects rather than books-everything from tea sets and hockey sticks to Marie Antoinette’s everyday wig. Lonely at her new school, Elizabeth takes a job at the New York Circulating Material Repository, hoping to make new friends as well as pocket money.
