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.

My teacher in 5th grade recommended this book because her daughter had read it, so I gave it a try. I loved it. It has fairy tales that I love like Cinderella, and sleeping beauty. It's an awesome book and I recommend it for those who just love fairy tales like I do.
IT IS THE BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This book totally blew me away! When I first was recommended to read it, I thought it would be a cheap knock-off of another fairy tale book. But I could not have been more wrong. Twin sister and brother Alex and Conner accidentally fall through a book called the Land of Stories, actually bringing them to a world where all the fairy tales are real! Not knowing how to get home, the twins set off on a crazy quest to find all the items required to complete the Wishing Spell, fabled to grant the retriever any wish, with only an old journal of someone who had done it before as their guide. But the Evil Queen (yes, the one with the poison apple) has escaped her enprisonment and is also after the items for the spell. Repeatedly just escaping death, they have adventures that bring them all over the Land of Stories and they recognize people and places of their young fantasies. Will they beat the Evil Queen to the items and finally get home? Chris Colfer completes his story with humor, adventure, suspense, and family! I loved this book and really enjoyed it! I highly recommend this book to 4th-8th graders! That's why I have learned not to underestimate a book until reading it, or not judge it by its cover. Read this book!
