The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell by Chris Colfer


Alex and Conner, twins, have had a recent death in their family. It’s hit them pretty hard, and, as they’ve come to realize, life moves on. When they receive a mysterious gift from their grandmother, Alex and Conner begin a journey through the perils of fairytale land, and come to question the good, the evil, and even their own existence. Join them in this journey as you turn each page in a mesmerized gaze.
            What can I say about The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell? It’s a fantastic fairytale, with compelling characters, morals galore, and a bit of danger around every corner. This book takes little to no time to read with its easy wording and if you have a determined mind. (This book also reminds me a bit of how the very first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was written.) I was first compelled to read this book sorely based on the fact that Chris Colfer wrote it. (Don’t look at me like that! He’s a Golden Globe winner!) Chris Colfer rose to the occasion—his book is a jewel! It even has a sequel: The Land of Stories: The Enchantress Returns. Enjoy your reading! (May I suggest reading with a young one? It is a fairytale, after all.)
