At home, Elizabeth's father is remote, her stepmother is a taskmaster, and her stepsister is bossy. At her new school, she is a loner, often picked on by others.
Elizabeth’s history teacher is surprised by a report she writes on Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm's place in history. After he witnesses Elizabeth's kindness to a homeless woman, he recommends her for a job at the New York Circulating Material Repository.

Elizabeth can use the money. The Repository is an interesting place that lends out everything from tea sets to Marie Antoinette's everyday wig!
Imagine her surprise when she is assigned to the Grimm Collection of magical items, hidden in the basement. Some of the items in the Grimm Collection include items from the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, including the mirror that belonged to Snow White’s stepmother.
