Publisher's Summary

A new adventure series set in the Land of Stories universe from the number one New York Times best-selling author Chris Colfer, perfect for new and old fans! For fans of the School for Good and Evil and Pages & Co.

When Brystal Evergreen stumbles across a secret section of the library, she discovers a book that introduces her to a world beyond her imagination and learns the impossible: she is a fairy capable of magic! But in the oppressive Southern Kingdom, women are forbidden from reading and magic is outlawed, so Brystal is swiftly convicted of her crimes and sent to the miserable Bootstrap Correctional Facility. 

But with the help of the mysterious Madame Weatherberry, Brystal is whisked away and enrolled in an academy of magic! Adventure comes with a price, however, and when Madame Weatherberry is called away to attend to an important problem, she doesn't return.

Do Brystal and her classmates have what it takes to stop a sinister plot that risks the fate of the world and magic forever?

Fall in love with an all-new series filled with adventure, imagination and magic.

My 7 year olds review 😍 (spoilers)

I got this book for my year old daughter and she loved it! This is her review;

"I liked that they were all nice to each other, and that the snow queen was the magic teacher"

Enjoyed this!

This is an entertaining story with good character development and positive messages built in to the themes and outcomes of the story. It’s not predictable and it’s a fun listen.

An Amazing Find

It is an awesome and intruiging book that captivates you from the start of the page to the very last word. You can never get tired of it. Even if you read it over and over again, it will never tire you. The problems are hard and really drastic and it takes a while to solve it. If all the problems were easy, then the book will be really boring. The friendship between the characters are amazingly loyal, as they bonded over the problems which are each different for each other. They will always stand by each other and never forget their precious friendship between each other.

The main base of the story and the funny parts in the story!!

I loved how each character has different personalities and different powers of elements. I wished I had a power, like a fairy’s or a witch’s. The story made me think if, A Tale of Magic series are connected to the Land of Stories and are some part of different history in each book I read. I can’t wait to listen to a tale of witchcraft, it makes me giddy of what will happen in the next book. Cya

I wanted to like this, but...

this story was predictable and messy. it felt like there were too many ideas that were only very briefly touched on. Overall, it was a bit lax.
I like Chris Colfer but I didn't like this performance. the voices didn't seem to suit and were all very similar
