The first book in Chris Colfer's #1 New York Times bestselling series The Land of Stories about two siblings who fall into a fairy-tale world!
 
Alex and Conner Bailey's world is about to change, in this fast-paced adventure that uniquely combines our modern day world with the enchanting realm of classic fairy tales.

The Land of Stories tells the tale of twins Alex and Conner. Through the mysterious powers of a cherished book of stories, they leave their world behind and find themselves in a foreign land full of wonder and magic where they come face-to-face with the fairy tale characters they grew up reading about.

But after a series of encounters with witches, wolves, goblins, and trolls alike, getting back home is going to be harder than they thought.

I love this book and the whole series! If you want to get lost in a magical, fantastical, world of stories with characters you might have watched, read, or heard of when you were young, then this is the book series for you. Conner and Alex Bailey's life is about to change drastically when they receive a magical fairy tale storybook for the twelfth birthday. When the twins discover it's magical powers and accidentally fall into it, they end up in The Land Of Stories. It's an incredible separate world where Fairy Tales are real and are alive. Alex and Conner have never been the same since their dad died in a car accident. But when their grandma brings them the Land of Stories book, things start changing. They meet characters and have been following notebooks to make the wishing spell. This is the only way they know of to go back home. Will they be able to come back or stay in the storybook FOREVER? Such a good book! It makes we feel like I am in a whole other world. The author adds so much detail it feels like you’re sucked in with them and it’s so cool that all of the characters you know I’ve met before from when you were a little kid it brings back old memories and it’s so fun to read. Even if you’re not a really big bookworm you’re still love it it’s worth the long read and the books just keep getting better and better and better And the author adds so much detail it feels like Alex and Conner are your best friend and you just get to escape in another world with some of your good friends.
