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.

I read this book so many times. My book is so ancient that the cover is practically off, my pages are yellow. It will be my favorite book forever. I counted how many times I have read the book and it was 53 times in 1 year! That book is probably what, 5 years old now? Anyways, this book is amazing, and it is the book of my life.

This book would probably be your best fairy tale, fiction book to read. It has a lot of detail, and this story is mostly about twins a boy, and a girl who accidentally travel to this fairy tale land where there's Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora. There's also the 4 brothers of Prince Charles, Prince Charlie, Prince Chad, and Prince Chance, and 3 brothers are married to the 3 princesses, but, one is not for some reason, and you'll find that reason out in the story.

I like the land of stories the wishing spell so much I wanted it from both my school librairy and the public librairy!!! :)

I love this book so much that I even bought this book for my friend that is moving.

My friends say that these books are awesome!

I think its such a great book and ti full of your favorite characters and its full of adventure.

I super duper califragilisticexpealidotious LOVE this book. It is amazing. I hate Fantasy books but this crossed the line! it is about these two twins that are very lonely, because their father died and their mother works all the time. Alex (the girl) sets off a special book handed down to them and ends up in the "Land of Stories", a place where all fairy tale characters are real. Her brother jumped in after her and they go on this incredible journey to find items to get back home. The problem is the items almost impossible to find. They have some obstacles. Can they overcome them. Read to find out. SPOILER ALERT- They don't get home by the wishing spell, they get home by their grandma who is Cinderella's fairy godmother. They are part fairy!

Why would you do that! You told the whole book!That was so spoil alert!

I LOVED THE BOOK THE BOOK HAS A LOT OF STORIES IN IT WHOS IN IT AND A LOT OF ADVENTURES SADNESS AND HAPPYNESS
