PLOT:

Sabrina Grimm runs home, happy about her A on her Science Test, she calls her parents from downstairs; there is no answer. Daphne's teacher calls that nobody picked up 5- year old Daphne from Kindergarten. The police arrive about Veronica and Henry Grimm's disappearance, and nothing is left a clue but a bloody handprint, stained on a car window.

The kids are brought to a foster home, while they believe their parents had abandoned them. Their caseworker abuses them often, and finally they found a home- but the parents never treated them with love. They escape the home (vandilizing it in the process). This goes around in a loop, until when the caseworker is mad enough to kick them out of the foster home and leave them to starve on the streets- However, a call picks up.

Apparently, their "grandmother" (Relda) will pick them up, and they leave on a bus, heading to Ferryport Landing.

Sabrina doesn't believe this, but Daphne is excited. When they get off, the caseworker doesn't even bother to say goodbye. Sabrina talks to Daphne about how this woman is a weirdo, not their grandmother. However, she treats them with love. She makes dinner, and calls them "Lieblings" for some reason. She tells them not to go into the locked room- or the woods, which is EXTREMELY dangerous.

Night comes, and Sabrina attempts to make an escape with Daphne. She grabs a Hammer, and slams it at the window. However, it is safety proof. In fact, all the doors are locked! Mr. Canis, their grandmother Relda's friend, tells them to stop.

However, Sabrina doesn't. She tip-toes downstairs with Daphne, grabs a knife, and cuts the window open, running with Daphne into the woods. Soon, far into the woods, a bug attacks Daphne, thousands of them. This begins a chase, and soon, at the house, Daphne is stung nearly to death.Relda saves her, and isn't mad. They decide to sleep for the night-but Sabrina didn't believe in Relda. Still.

Next day, the girls head into town with Relda, and find a large footprint, about 50 feet big. The Mayor, Prince Charming, soon arrives with his assistant, Mr. Seven, the seventh dwarf who is wearing a dunce cap. They investigate a destroyed farm, and Relda finds a leaf, which she believes is from a giant's beanstalk. Sabrina concludes that Relda is crazy, Then, Relda explains they are descended from the Brothers Grimm and so are part of a family legacy of fairy-tale detectives. Relda also tells them that fairy-tale creatures  - called Everafters -  exist as all fairy-tales are true and a lot of the Everafters reside in Ferryport Landing. She also reveals that there is a barrier separating the Everafters from humans; this prevents them from leaving the town, along with at least one member of the Grimm family (or else the barrier would fall). She tells them that every fairy tale the Brothers Grimm wrote was actually an accurate account of something that really happened. She explains that in the past, fairy tale creatures, or 'Everafters,' and normal humans lived side by side. However, much later in history, as tensions grew, magic was banned and any dangerous everafters were captured and caged. The Grimm brothers collected and documented as many stories as they could of Everafters, and became friends with many of them in the process. Many everafters moved to America to build a safe community, with Wilhelm Grimm as their leader. However, as the human population began to grow, rebel groups formed in Ferryport landing in order to eradicate the human population. In order to prevent an all out war, Wilhelm Grimm went to Baba Yaga, a powerful witch, and asked her to put a spell over the town keeping all everafters in permanently. Baba Yaga granted this in exchange for Wilhelm's freedom, meaning one grimm would always have to stay in Ferryport Landing for the spell to stay intact. Granny tells them that the peace in Ferryport Landing is fragile, and it's the Grimm Family's job to maintain it. Sabrina dismisses her as a lunatic. They visit the person who's farm was destroyed, however Charming already used forgetful dust to keep them from sueing him.

The wife of the farmer says there was a British man who often visited their farm and asked to rent their field, but became hostile when they refused. She says that later, the man had returned, apologized for being so rude, and offered to pay for them to stay in New York City as an apology. Mrs. Applebee had gone with her sister rather than her husband. However, when they arrived, the hotel had no record of their reservation. On the way out, the family is ambushed by a group of 'goons' who threaten the Grimms to abandon the case. Granny is not scared, and instead sees this as a sign they are on the right path. Granny decides to follow the gang and find out who employed them in a stakeout. On the way, she tells them about giants. the only person to ever have successfully robbed and killed a giant was Jack,(from Jack and the Beanstalk), but now he works at a retail store in town. Sabrina attempts to make an escape with Daphne, but in the process, Granny and Mr. Canis are taken by a giant. The girls run away scared, and run into Puck from a Midnight Summer's Dream. They mistake him as Peter Pan, but he concludes he is a villain. After telling Puck what has happened, he says he will help them because Relda feeds him. They go to the house, a letter in granny's purse telling them to enter the room in her house that she previously declared off limits, and noise is coming from the forbidden room. They take weapons and break in. The magic mirror from Snow White is in there, and they ask where they can find somebody to save Relda and Canis, which Mirror answers Jack the Giant Killer. The police knock on the door, and the kids grab the Magic Carpet and escape.

While flying on the magic carpet, the giant chases them, however, they stop him. They unlock Jack's cell, and get back home. (Jack keeps attractracting police) Jack seems to enjoy the attention, while Sabrina and Daphne struggle to stay on the carpet. They get home and Jack decides they should spend the night, though Sabrina is hesitant to let him stay in their house. Late at night, Puck and Sabrina discuss their distrust for Jack, only to stumble upon him and the dog in a fight. Puck accuses Jack of having 'sticky fingers', or thieving. they briefly fight before the girls stop them. Jack keeps mentioning his "big plan," but refraining from telling the girls what it is. After this secrecy causes Sabrina to finally snap and ream Jack, he reveals that his plan is for them to sneak into Charming's office during the fundraiser ball and steal his city planning blueprints. Jack believes this will lead them to wherever Charming wants to send the giant next.

The group uses the mirror to get disguises as well as the Ruby Slippers from The Wizard of Oz. Sabrina (disguised as Momma Bear from Goldilocks) and Daphne (disguised as the Tin Man) are told by the mirror that their disguises will wear off at nine o' clock. The sisters use the magic slippers to get into Charming's mansion.the girls encounter many fairy tale creatures who all discuss Granny Relda's incident with the giant. The whole town is familiar with the Grimm family. The Everafters have a blatant disdain for the Grimms and loudly discuss how they hope the family will soon die out so they can leave the town. They are only interrupted by Briar Rose, or Sleeping Beauty, who defends the Grimm family. The girls also find out that there is a possibility that their parents were kidnapped rather than just having abandoned the girls. Sabrina sneaks away into the mayor's office, where she finds tape recordings of the giant crushing the farmer's house. Suddenly, Sabrina is caught by Prince Charming, who already has Daphne. He threatens to kill them if they don't tell him who they really are. He also mentions that he doesn't want to join the "Scarlet Hand," a 'revolution.' The girls change back into themselves just in time, as a giant arrives outside the party. Charming attempts to throw them outside, but the party has formed a mob that is impossible to penetrate. The Three Witches start to fight the giant, which Daphne protests as Granny and Canis are still in its pocket.

King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table fight the giant off, and the guests leave the party, enraged with Charming. The girls demand that Charming give them their grandmother back, sure that he is in control of the giant. However, Charming's tapes reveal the real culprit: Jack, who had tricked them and who was the one who had set loose the giant hoping that by killing it in front of a crowd of news reporters he would come back into his former fame. Charming sent Hamstead to take them out of town long enough to kill the giant and save their grandmother. The girls ask why Charming would want to help them, and he replies 'I have my reasons. They return home quickly after this realization to find that Jack has ransacked their home and injured Elvis. Jack has stolen several magic beans from the Mirror. Charming and the girls get weapons from the mirror and go to fight Jack, who has released a new giant and is attempting to anger it. Sabrina accidentally kills the giant with excalibur and enrages Jack. Jack tries to kill Sabrina and Daphne but they are rescued by Mr. Canis, who turns out to be the Big Bad Wolf. Unable to control himself, he kills Jack. The giant is sent back to its kingdom. The girls discover that a shady organization known as the "Scarlet Hand" is responsible for kidnapping their parents. It is also revealed that Puck will be moving in with them.
