A to je jeho konec – aspoň do chvíle, než náhodou odhalí tajemnou špionskou organizaci EKZOTI, kterou tvoří banda technologicky vylepšených mimoňů bojujících za bezpečnost naší planety.

Sabrina s Dafne už jsou v Červeném Přívozu skoro měsíc a mají plné ruce práce, aby v pohádkové společnosti všechno fungovalo tak, jak má. Avšak není zbytí, každé dítě musí chodit do školy, dokonce i když je policejním zmocněncem v utajení. Přestože sestry Grimmovy dělají všechno možné, aby nástup do školy oddálily, první školní den nakonec přijde. Sabrina musí v skrytu duše přiznat, že po měsíci plném dobrodružství se na trošku té školní nudy těší, ale když hned první den ve škole skončí tajemnou vraždou, je jí jasné, že nudy si moc neužije: v Červeném Přívozu řádí nestvůra!

Vydejte se do tajemstvím opředeného Tibetu a posaďte se na střeše světa... Nejvýše položená země, dlouhá staletí nedosažitelná a uzavřená v majestátnosti himálajských velehor, již odedávna fascinuje cestovatele ze všech koutů planety. Průvodce Tibetem od nakladatelství Bradt je kvalitní příručkou obsahující přesné, místy až detailní informace o tom, co vše potřebuje zájemce o cestu do Tibetu. Průvodce je rozdělený na dvě části. V první se seznámíme s historií Tibetu, jeho mytologií, náboženstvím i novodobými, někdy ne zcela veselými dějinami. Poté přichází zeměpisná a přírodopisná kapitola zevrubně popisující klima a biosféru, následovaná zcela praktickými radami ohledně cestování, byrokracie, kulturních zvyků, stravování a ubytování. Obsažná a velmi důležitá kapitola s dalšími odkazy se týká zdraví, jeho ochrany a možností zdravotnické pomoci v polních podmínkách Tibetu.

Sabrina a Dafne však neprožívají idylu, jak by se dalo v pohádkovém světě očekávat – začnou se totiž dít podivné věci. Náhle se objeví hrozivý obr, od jehož řádění mohou své nové bydliště zachránit jen chytré hlavy a detektivní schopnosti sester Grimmových. Přeložila Jarka Vrbová.
