Would you send a villain to do a hero's job?

Flunked is an exciting new twisted fairy tale from the award-winning author of the Secrets of My Hollywood Life series. "Charming fairy-tale fun." -Sarah Mlynowski, author of the New York Times bestselling Whatever After series.

Gilly wouldn't call herself wicked, exactly...but when you have five little brothers and sisters and live in a run-down boot, you have to get creative to make ends meet. Gilly's a pretty good thief (if she does say so herself).

Until she gets caught.

Gilly's sentenced to three months at Fairy Tale Reform School where all of the teachers are former (super-scary) villains like the Big Bad Wolf, the Evil Queen, and Cinderella's Wicked Stepmother. Harsh. But when she meets fellow students Jax and Kayla, she learns there's more to this school than its heroic mission. There's a battle brewing and Gilly has to wonder: can a villain really change?

"Fairy Tale Reform School is spellbinding and wickedly clever. Gilly is smart, spunky, and a hilarious narrator, and I cannot wait to read about her next adventure!" -Leslie Margolis, author of the Annabelle Unleashed novels and the Maggie Brooklyn mysteries

"Fairy Tale Reform School is a fresh and funny take on the enchanted world. (And who hasn't always wanted to know what happened to Cinderella's stepmother?)" -Julia DeVillers, author of the Trading Faces identical twin series and Emma Emmets, Playground Matchmaker

This looks good My question is why is it called "flunked" and I would fall in love with this book just for reading the review.

Gilly Cobbler is a thief. She doesn't do it for her own personal gain, but for her family. Ever since the Fairy Godmother started making glass slippers with magic, her father's business has been going down, resulting in the hunger of her family. After too many big offences, the dwarf police squad send her to Fairy Tale Reform School. There she makes friends with a fairy, a troll girl, and two headstrong boys. Things seem suspicious at FTRS, like Headmistress Flora who disappears into the woods, or the Evil queen's sister, Jocelyn, who seems to get away with doing nasty spells. With her friend's help, Gilly tries to defeat Gargoyles, teachers, and what may be the most powerful sorceress of all time. Can they do it?

A thief in a fairy tale who ends up going to reform school run by former villains? COUNT ME IN!!!!!!!

It is about the daughter of a shoemaker in Enchantasisa, who steals things from royals, so that her family has enough to eat. Then, police catch her and send her to Fairy Tale Reform School, where former evil villians are proffesors and teachers who belive that the can change teenagers who are pocket thieves, bad fairies, and downright evil villians in the making, into the future heroes of tomorow. But there is something suspicious going on with the headmaster and a forbidden forest......

I like how they fractured it.
