 The Land Of Stories The Wishing Spell

By Chris Colfer

 When Alex and Conner Bailey attend sixth grade who would've known that they were even related. Alex the smart one. Conner the lazy one. Both had their own struggles though, Alex was smart but lonely, Conner was popular but had many troubles at school. 

On their twelfth birthday, they were given a book from their grandmother, the Land of Stories, a book that had been in their family for ages. That night when Alex put the book in one of her many bookshelves it started humming, and real-life birds started coming out of the book. When she went to look at the book she found out that the book was actually a portal that led to somewhere. 

When Conner found out that the book was a portal his only fear was that Alex would want to go through it. One day during Conner’s detention Alex decided she wanted to test out the portal but when Conner entered screaming ALEXX! She fell straight through the book and Conner went in right after her. When they landed on the ground they figured out that the portal led right into the fairytale world. They didn’t even know if they could go back home. 

Read this book to figure out if they reach their home! 

If I had to choose one middle school pillar that Alex and Conner developed over time it would be RESPECT because they had to learn and respect the different people, places, and ways of living in the fairytale world. 

I would rate this book 5/5 stars and if you liked this book then a good read-alike would be The Story Thieves by James Riley.
