In the books

Fablehaven

Grandma Sorenson is Grandpa Sorenson's wife, Ruth. She got turned into a chicken by a genie who is prisoner in the dungeon beneath the house. She was trying to gain information from the genie, but when one asks a genie a question one must first answer any question put to them by the genie. If you find yourself unwilling to answer the question, or if you lie, the genie is allowed to take a small revenge on you. This one turned Grandma into a chicken. Grandpa named her Goldilocks to keep the situation hidden from the children, but he did put the cage in the kids' room and allow them to play with her and take care of her. In Fablehaven when all seems lost Grandma/Goldilocks spells out "I M GRAM" on the floor with her kernels of food and they take her to Muriel to change her back.
