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.

I super duper califragilisticexpealidotious LOVE this book. It is amazing. I hate Fantasy books but this crossed the line! it is about these two twins that are very lonely, because their father died and their mother works all the time. Alex (the girl) sets off a special book handed down to them and ends up in the "Land of Stories", a place where all fairy tale characters are real. Her brother jumped in after her and they go on this incredible journey to find items to get back home. The problem is the items almost impossible to find. They have some obstacles. Can they overcome them. Read to find out. SPOILER ALERT- They don't get home by the wishing spell, they get home by their grandma who is Cinderella's fairy godmother. They are part fairy!

Why would you do that! You told the whole book!That was so spoil alert!

I liked this a lot, it is as good as Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, this was totally the book I was looking for, because it was like a puzzle where the peices all fit together and make sense. I actually fell in love with this book when I read the first page. And this book is sad at the ending, like cry sad, and the beginning is hilarious. A main character, Conner makes me burst out laughing even in "silent reading"

A good book, about polar opposite twins who are sucked into a Fairy Tale land, by their family heirloom fairy tale book.

the land of stories Alex and Connor go into the book and they have to find the 8 items for the wishing spell to go home

Wow the land of stories the wishing spell this book from the front looks awesome and I think it is about finding a spell in the land of stories that has never been used but I will find out soon when I read it have fun guys see ya later

It's my most fav series of all time!! I couldn't put it down, and it's not at all for little kids, even though it's about fairy tales. So read it!!!

i loved this because its a mixed up fairy tale.I like fairy tale mix ups because i never know whats going to happen next.

I love the twist ending it makes the reader want to continue reading the other books.
