About this ebook

The first book in Chris Colfer's #1 New York Times bestselling series The Land of Stories about two siblings who fall into a fairy-tale world!

Alex and Conner Bailey's world is about to change forever, in this fast-paced adventure that uniquely combines our modern day world with the enchanting realm of classic fairy tales.

The Land of Stories tells the tale of twins Alex and Conner. Through the mysterious powers of a cherished book of stories, they leave their world behind and find themselves in a foreign land full of wonder and magic where they come face-to-face with fairy tale characters they grew up reading about.

But after a series of encounters with witches, wolves, goblins, and trolls alike, getting back home is going to be harder than they thought.

I love a book that can make me cry and laugh. Not a hard book to put down as it does run dry from time to time. However, It's as if Chris Colfer read my mind in the first chapter when he talks about the true nature and morals of fairy tales and how they are being tarnished by modern times. Great book for grades 5 and up if you can get your child to overlook the length..
