The story of Sophie and Agatha is one of the best books in the fractured-fairytale genre. A must read for anyone who has read Harry Potter or Wicked. Their tale is just as well imagined and worthy of attention.

The New York Times bestselling The School for Good and Evil 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!
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?

It is like one of the best books ever!!! It has so much twists and turns, it keeps you on your feet till the very end! It talks about two girls who are best friends, they get chosen to go to the school for good and evil. One looks like a princess, but she ends up going to the school for evil. The other wears all black and is dark and dreary, but she ends up going to the School for good. It teaches you that it is the inside that counts
The first kidnappings happened two hundred years before. Some years it was two boys taken, some years two girls, sometimes one of each. But if at first the choices seemed random, soon the pattern became clear. One was always beautiful and good, the child every parent wanted as their own. The other was homely and odd, an outcast from birth. This year, best friends Sophie and Agatha are about to discover where all the lost children go: the fabled School for Good & Evil, where ordinary boys and girls are trained to be fairy tale heroes and villains. As the most beautiful girl in Gavaldon, Sophie has dreamed of being kidnapped into an enchanted world her whole life. With her pink dresses, glass slippers, and devotion to good deeds, she knows she’ll earn top marks at the School for Good and graduate a storybook princess.
Great book. I really like the girls in it. Lots of fun excitement. I really enjoyed this book. I would like to read others by this author.
Sophie is pretty, tries to good deeds, and dreams of being a princess. Agatha is not so pretty, her mom is a witch, and lives in a graveyard with her pet cat.Sophie seems a natural fit for good.Agatha seems a natural fit for evil. but strange things happen when Agatha is put in good and sophie in evil. will this reveal who they truly are ????????
the school for good and evil is sooo good. I've read it over and over. it can happy, sad, funny, and scary.I like that Sophie's roommates want to murder her.
I want to read this book really badly. My friend, Chloe, read it and said it was wonderful. She said it was about students who have to follow their fairy tales. Sophie is determined to join the top ranks of the School Of Good. While Agatha, is totally the future shape of an evil villain. But then the stories get reversed making Agatha attend the School for Good and Sophie goes to the School for Evil.
This was a really awesome book. I love how Sophie and Agatha got separated and how they fought for the prince of there dreams witch is actuly the prince of Agatha's dreams. I love how the story is of training the evil hearted to be an villain and training the kind hearted to be a hero or nice person in the story they create. I love how the leasons are really creative. This book had great suspence and i loved the war between them and i loved the way this is a really cool and creative fractured fairytale.
This book was an AMAZING story. I got completely into it I didn't know who world I was in... Just kidding... anyways it's about two girls being best friends Sophie(the good girl) and Agatha(the not so good girl) anyways it was time for them to be put into their markings. Sophie thing she would get in the School for Good got the School for Evil! And Agatha thinking she would get the School for Evil graduated in the School for Good! Surprises surprises... this was so opposite of what they really are unless they really are that type of people... Dun Dun Dunnnn...
