Book details
Chris Colfer - Author
This is a return-to-a-familiar-world adventure built around a family rescue. Its strongest promise is imaginative fairy-tale danger, with the twins facing a frightening change and making their own way towards their mother.
Alex and Conner Bailey have not been back to the magical Land of Stories since their adventures in The Wishing Spell ended. But one night, they learn the famed Enchantress has kidnapped their mother! Against the will of their grandmother, the twins must find their own way into. The Land of Stories is no longer the joyful world Alex and Conner Bailey remember from their Wishing Spell adventure: The evil Enchantress, who cursed Sleeping Beauty, is back with a vengeance, and the fairy-tale world lives in fear. When the Enchantress’s evil reach extends even to Alex and Conner’s world—and their mother is kidnapped!—they must defy their grandmother’s orders and find their own way into the Land of Stories to rescue her.
