Synopsis
Back in Ferryport Landing, the Grimm family is unpopular and short of money, and Granny struggles to pay the mayor's steep taxes on human residents. When a series of magical thefts begins, the sisters realise the missing objects could threaten their family's future. Sabrina and Daphne take on their first case without their grandmother's guidance, helped by Puck. Meanwhile, their friend Mr. Canis is changing, and it becomes harder for him to stay in human form as the Big Bad Wolf takes over more of him. The girls must find the thief while the pressures around them keep growing.
