Overview

The New York Times bestselling School for Good and Evil series is an epic journey into a dazzling new world, where the only way out of a fairy tale is to live through one.

Start here to follow Sophie, Agatha, and everyone at school from the beginning This paperback edition features an Extras section, giving readers a chance to see which school they'd be in and a Q&A with the author, Soman Chainani--as well as a beautifully redesigned cover.

With her glass slippers and devotion to good deeds, Sophie knows she'll earn top marks at the School for Good and join the ranks of past students like Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Snow White. Meanwhile, Agatha, with her shapeless black frocks and wicked black cat, seems a natural fit for the villains in the School for Evil.

The two girls soon find their fortunes reversed--Sophie's dumped in the School for Evil to take Uglification, Death Curses, and Henchmen Training, while Agatha finds herself in the School for Good, thrust among handsome princes and fair maidens for classes in Princess Etiquette and Animal Communication.

But what if the mistake is actually the first clue to discovering who Sophie and Agatha really are?

  • Fairy tales aren't made - they're trained

    Deana V. - 2 years 6 months ago

    Though the target audience is below my age demographic, I found myself highly enjoying the world in which Soman Chainani has created. In a world where children are plucked from their beds to be turned into fairy tale characters, The School for Good and Evil centers around two friends who are chosen for these schools. In these two schools, children are trained to be as heroic or as evil as possible in the hopes of becoming a protagonist (or antagonist) of the next great fairy tale. What no one expects is for the fair and pink-loving Sophie to be dropped in the school for Evil while goth-like Agatha is sent to the school for Good. Far from familiarity, Agatha and Sophie must decide whether to accept their fates or push against the status quo. Either way, their presence will leave an impact on the schools forever...

    Altogether an Amazing book, I cant wait to read the next book

  • I think the most important thing to know about this book is that you shouldn't judge people before you get to know them.

    Megan M. - 6 years 4 months ago

    This book was by far one of the best I have ever read! Even though it was meant for a younger audience, I think it will appeal to a wide variety of people because of its fast-moving plot and amazing characters. It is the perfect mix of fantasy, mystery, action, friendship, and romance. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an enjoyable and oftentimes surprising book. #SummerReading

  • Amazing find!

    Viktoriya M. - 6 years 4 months ago

    Great book! Very immersive plot and has a nice amount of humor without becoming more of a silly book. Would definitely recommend to 4th-7th grade readers. The book has a nice twist on old fairy tales everybody knows, which children will like. If your child liked Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, and Percy Jackson, they will love this book and series. A movie and 6th book is being released, read the books first. (Note: very long book and series) #SummerReading

  • Most Amazing Masterpiece

    Alex H. - 6 years 5 months ago

    This book is truly a masterpiece. It manages to capture the beloved fairytales and fantasy of girls/boys everywhere only to quickly change the meaning of fairytales and wishes. One of my absolute favorites and would be recommended for everyone who has a soft spot for fairytales.
