The first book in Chris Colfer's #1 New York Times bestselling series The Land of Stories about two siblings who fall into a fairy-tale world!

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.

The reason I think you should read this book is because it is funny and it has a lot of fairie tale charaters you'll know like cinderella or sleeping bueaty. It also has villans like the evil queen. It tells the back storie of her life and why she became evil. It also has very good cliff hanger

Suddenly they are face to face with the characters the grew up reading about! But there is a problem the only way home is a mysterious spell known a the "Wishing Spell" and it is not excatly easy to activate plus the Evil Queen also despratly wants the spell and will do anything in her power to get it before they do. Alex and Conner must brave the magical world together so they can get home safe and sound. Soon they are on a dangerous adventure meeting all the characters in the stories they grew up reading and some of them aren't what they thought they would be. Can they brave the world and get home? I highly suggest this book to anyone who loves fantasy with hints of comedy mixed in.

It all starts when Alex and Conner Bailey discover a magical and mysterious fairytale book that is a family heirloom. By accidentally they get sucked into the mystical land of fairytales . Quickly they discover the Wishing Spell, a spell that requires a lot of rare magical objects such as: one Cinderella’s glass slippers, a lock of Repunzel’s golden hair and other objects that have to do with fairytales. They decide that if they can get all of those items, then they will wish that they were back at home. On top of all of this, the Evil Queen is hot on their trail (the one that tried to kill Snow White) also determined to get the rare objects for herself to activate the spell. Do Alex and Conner get home, or are they stuck in the land of fairytales forever? I enjoyed this book because of the sense of adventure and suspense. Chris Colfer does a amazing job describing everything with such precision!
