The Land of The Story's was soooooooooooooo good!
This is the most amazing book series ever! Chris Colfer is actually Kurt Hummel from Glee! There are so many twists and turns that make you say,'Oh My Gosh. Did that REALLY happen!?' Can't wait to read A Grimm Warning! ( I already read the second book )
All I know so far is that he book that the little girl got for her birthday, is truly magical.
it is soooo hard to express how much I love this book. I GOT IT AS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT AND HID IN BED ALL DAY UNTIL THE BOOK WAS FINISHED
the wishing spell was a great book and something unexpected always happens.i liked that there was a map of the world in the front of the book.
Alex and Connor get this fairy tale book from there grandma but the story book has magic in it. and I love this book because it was really good
This book is a book about fairy tails twisted to make it more interesting and points out stuff that you never noticed before and adds a realistic P.O.V. on the whole fairy tail genre. Alex and Conner get involved in this strange world and only want to get home using a powerful spell called The Wishing Spell this powerful spell can only be used twice and has been used once and now Alex and Connor are competing against The Evil Witch in order to use the spell to get home. Will they win, or will The Evil Queen cast the spell first? Read to find out
This book rocks. I happen to be obsessed with fairytales, so I understand why I love this book, but even if you don't like fairytales, this book is for you. I loved Goldilocks' character. Anyway, Alex and Connor live a pretty tough life. When their dad dies, they move out of their beautiful house into a rental, and their mom is always working. When Grandma visits, she gives them what Alex has always loved: A book called Land Of Stories. Then, it starts humming. Alex, who happens to be an organization superstar, starts losing things. She discovers it is from the book. Alex and Connor get sucked in, and there is only one way out: the wishing spell. They have to find a bunch of objects from their favorite stories, including Cinderella's slipper, a lock of Rapunzel's hair, jewels from Snow White's coffin, etc, etc. At the end, they discover just who the wicked queen really is, and who exactly used the wishing spell before them. And, they wonder, "Did Grandma know about this?" SPOILER ALERT: I'm serious, if you are still reading, and haven't read this before, stop! SPOILER ALERT: Grandma is the fairy godmother, making them related to everyone they met! Such an awesome book! Read it!
AHHHH! I love this book so much I am speechless! Besides an actor on Glee he is the best author ever! This book is daring, dangerous, and exciting! Everywhere you turn there is something happening! Read this book and there is no turning back! Please take my Word! It is great
