Alex and Conner Bailey fall into a book of fairytales given to them by their grandmother after the death of their father. They learn that the fairytale world is real, and so are the characters that inhabit it. Alex and Conner are in awe of this place, but want to go home so badly that they attempt to use The Wishing Spell, which will grant them one wish. However, the things needed to perform the spell are difficult to acquire, and lead Alex and Conner all over this dimension.

I love this book. It is a story of kids who fall through a fariy tale book into a magical word where fariy tales are real. I highly recomend it!

THE WISHING SPELL (THE LAND OF STORIES) is the best book ever

I want other people to read it even though I haven't finished it yet because it is really exciting

the best fairy tale story ever

I have read all of these books and each one leaves you wanting more. They are interesting and I could not put them down until I finished all of them. I am not one for fantasy themed novels, but these really caught my attention and kept me reading. The books are basically about twins, brother and sister, discovering a fantasy land in a book, their adventures there, and how it has affected there life in the real world. These books are the reasons I love reading and I hope the author writes more.

The land of storys has a lot of adventure and always makes me want to read more

My teacher in 5th grade recommended this book because her daughter had read it, so I gave it a try. I loved it. It has fairy tales that I love like Cinderella, and sleeping beauty. It's an awesome book and I recommend it for those who just love fairy tales like I do.
