Best Books and Most popular

A very popular book here is Land of story's the wishing spell. Here is a small summary!

The fact that fairy tale characters do know each other, hang out together and argue amongst themselves is something that twins Alex and Conner Bailey are going to find out firsthand when a gift from their grandmother turns into an adventure in The Land of Stories, where Red Riding Hood has a crush on Jack of beanstalk fame, and where Snow White’s stepmother has escaped from prison.
But before we get to The Land of Stories, let’s backtrack. Alex (a girl) and Conner (a boy) are 11 years old and live with their mother. Their father died tragically about a year ago, and while Mrs. Bailey does everything she can to keep things together, their loss is hard to deal with. This is something that the twins’ teacher, Mrs. Peters, is only too happy to remind Conner of every time he falls asleep in class. Alex, on the other hand, is the teacher’s pet, especially when it comes to the class’s current unit on fairy tales. Alex knows it all --- or at least she thinks she does. When Conner catches her falling into the book their grandmother gave them (The Land of Stories, of course), he follows her in.
It turns out that fairy tales are a little less tame than Alex thought, and just because when we read them they turn out okay doesn’t mean that there’s no evil left. From gnomes who kidnap to witches who still like to eat children, there are plenty of dangers in The Land of Stories, and so Alex and Conner quickly decide that they need to work on finding a way home. But that’s easier said than done, as the best way to get out, says their new friend Froggy, is to gather the objects needed for the Wishing Spell, an ancient, mythical thing rumored to grant any wish, no matter how big or small. And the “ingredients” for the Wishing Spell aren’t your usual eye of newt variety; instead, they have to go throughout the many kingdoms that make up the Land of Stories and find the very objects that were made famous in fairy tales, from one of Cinderella’s glass slippers to a piece of the bark that made Red Riding Hood’s basket.


THE WISHING SPELL is clearly Chris Colfer’s love letter to all Western fairy tales, from the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen to L. Frank Baum’s THE WIZARD OF OZ. While it’s not the most original fairy tale retelling, it shines because of the quirky personalities of many of the fairy tale characters. Goldilocks makes the perfect bandit, and Red Riding Hood definitely needs sleep therapy. There are also layers of humor that make THE WISHING SPELL a fun read for families, who at any age can find different things to laugh at. For those who can’t get enough of fairy tales, Colfer’s debut novel will feed your insatiable fantasy appetite.
