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.

But after a series of encounters with witches, wolves, goblins, and trolls alike, getting back home is going to be harder than they thought.

I love it! So the book os about twins (Alex and Conner). They are both in 7th grade. Their dad does in a car accident right before their birthday. While that is going on their grandma comes over for their birthday. Their grandma gives them a present which has “The Land of Stories” book in it. Alex continues to search about this book until the both go in the book. They meet many creatures along the way. This is an amazing book

this book is incredible! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! as a little girl I always wanted to have the personalities that both of the characters have. I wanted to be smart and a good kid like alex, and funny and mischivious like conner! and on top of all that, i wanted more than anything to be able to enter the fairytale world and have an adventure and a book about my adventures. this book has all the things i would ever wish to experience.

I got this book as a present during Christmas and I loved it. Alex and Bailey Connor are magically transported to a fairy tale world and have to find a way to get out of the book using their smarts, and wits. These books have quite long chapters, and many pages but I read the whole series asI thought the fast-paced adventures were really captivating.
