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.)
