The New York Times bestselling The School for Good and Evil is an epic journey into a dazzling new world, where the only way out of a fairy tale is to live through one. Start here to follow Sophie, Agatha, and everyone at school from the beginning!

With her glass slippers and devotion to good deeds, Sophie knows she'll earn top marks at the School for Good and join the ranks of past students like Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Snow White. Meanwhile, Agatha, with her shapeless black frocks and wicked black cat, seems a natural fit for the villains in the School for Evil.

The two girls soon find their fortunes reversed—Sophie's dumped in the School for Evil to take Uglification, Death Curses, and Henchmen Training, while Agatha finds herself in the School for Good, thrust among handsome princes and fair maidens for classes in Princess Etiquette and Animal Communication.

But what if the mistake is actually the first clue to discovering who Sophie and Agatha really are?

AWESOME! BEST BOOK EVER

Sophie is beautiful and Agatha is not so. Apparently, Sophie is Good and Agatha is Evil. What if they land in the wrong school? Turns out, they're in the correct school. This book is 5/5 stars.

It sounds pretty rad! People in my class like so i wan't to read it.

Once upon a time there were 2 girls 1 was beautiful and the other was ugly. The beautiful one named Sophie was sure she would go to the school of good but the ugly one/ Agatha and Sophie's fortunes were reversed and ended up in the school they dreaded. They couldn't get out unless it was thought their story.

this book is amazing it has magice and everything that a child wants

A mysterious village, disappearing children, two friends. In a small village known as Gavaldon, children go missing every four years, this year it's Sophie's and Agatha's turn. Beautiful Sophie and Grim Agatha are the newest students to the School for Good and Evil, one may think that Sophie, beautiful, kind Sophie would get Honor Roll at the school for Good, whilst Agatha excelled in the school for Evil, but when they arrive their fortunes are reversed with Sophie in Evil and Agatha in Good, they both agree the School Master has made a mistake, or has he?

Once upon a time, there were two girls- named Sophie and Agatha. Sophie was the beautiful one, yet she had only selfish intentions. People still admired her, anyways. Then, there was Agatha. A frail, ghost-white, bony witch. But, she was no where as evil as Sophie. Somehow, besides their differences, the pair become best friends. As the plot builds on, we realize that Sophie's dream was to have her own "Happily ever after" in her very own fairytale. And how could she enter a fairytale? Why, of course. She had to get into the School of Good. And she just KNEW she would get in. And of course, Agatha would be the finishing touch of her fairytale- the villain. But when Agatha and Sophie's positions were switched... let's just say things didn't get good. Sophia would do ANYTHING to have her happily ever after. But, the school itself hadn't made a mistake. (WOW THIS WAS THE VERY WORST SUMMARY I HAVE EVER GIVEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AHHHHHH)

This book was so good, I was only quarter way through it and it beat a series that I read 41 times.
