Review: The Wishing Spell, by Chris Colfer


8-13


Alex and Conner Bailey's world is about to change, 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 the 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.



When twins Alex and Connor's grandmother gives them a book they think is just an ordinary...well, book. But when examining it, Alex falls into the book and Connor chases after her. There, they meet friends such as Red Riding Hood, Froggy, Trollbella, Goldilocks, Jack, and the Harp. But they also encounter villains like the Big Bad Wolf, the Evil Queen, and the Bounty Hunter's Daughter. And to top it all off, they discover a secret about their father.

Alex is clever, cunning and smart. She's the top of her class and has saved Connor and their friends many times.

I like the whole story. From meeting Froggy to being captured by the Evil Queen, it is a great book. I'm glad my friend suggested it.

Even though it's sad right before the end, I'm sure fairytale lovers will enjoy it.
