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.

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.

This book was so magical and enchanting, I have read the whole series and the whole story pulls you in! So get stretch your legs and go to the bookstore!!! You won’t regret it.

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND GO TO THE LIBRARY! The Land of Stories is an INCREDIBLE tale about twins Alex and Conner! They accidentally fall into a book...but it turns out it was just a portal and all of the fairy tale characters are REAL! Be amused by Red's vain attitude, Trollbella's undying love for Conner, and Conner's sarcastic attitude! Feel the sympathy for Alex's school troubles, the twins' long-gone father, and Froggy's horrible curse! Anxiously flip the pages to discover dangerous quest to find the items for the spell that can bring them home! And fall in love with the fairies, kingdoms, and characters! You might think you're too old for bedtime stories, but no one's too old for THIS fairy tale!

I liked it really good along with the other 5

This book is one of my favorite's! It's amazing. It's about a young pair of twins named Alex and Conner who travel into their grandmother's storybook. The adventures they take are interesting and wild. The author is very descriptive and he makes you feel like your in the book. I defiantly recommend this book.

I didn’t like it since it was really babyish and totally copied Harry Potter. But it’s okay I guess.
