What this book is about
Alex and Conner Bailey fall through their late grandmother's fairy-tale book and land in the Land of Stories. To get home, they must collect the ingredients of the Wishing Spell before the Evil Queen does. Their journey takes them through familiar fairy tales—with familiar characters who are more complex than their stories suggest. Chris Colfer's series opener is warm, inventive middle-grade fantasy that rewards readers who love fairy tales and gently subverts them.
