Review:
Blood-red handprints have been showing up everywhere: Sabrina and
Daphne's parents old abandoned car, the school chalkboard, murder
scenes, rooftops, and asylums! The girls are hot on the tail of The
Scarlet Hand and know they will get closer as time goes by! But will
they ever actually catch her? Find out in The Unusual Suspects by
Michael Buckley. This book was published in 2005. Fans of the first
book The Fairy-Tale Detectives were overjoyed when this book was
published.
There is a murderer or murderers roaming around the school.
Sabrina and Daphne need to figure out who is murdering all of the
school staff! The girls find half-girl half-frogs, giant spiders, and
monstrous children. The girls and Puck must sneak around the school to
figure out who has been murdering people. Sabrina accuses every
Everafter in sight, believing one is responsible for her parents
kidnapping. They even fight off Jabberwockies and murderers along the
way to figuring out who is killing many people and maybe even getting
one step closer to figuring out who had stolen their parents and why.
I honestly loved this book. It is full of fairy-tales and
fables with an odd twist on them. I think it was really cool how the
author turned fairy-tales and child's play into something that could
give little children nightmares! He managed to make them as though they
lived in today's real community, and among us all. It seems he could
have experienced it all before. Michael Buckley is an amazing author
and I among others honor his great writing skills! I would suggest this
book and any others in his series in a flash!
