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?

I did not like this book! It was a very weird book. Sometimes when the characters were talking you couldn't understanding what they were trying to say. But that's just my opinion.

I really want to read it because my friend it was a good book.I read all the reviews it really grab my attention because now i know it is a really a good book so intend to get the book well hopeful.The other thing that grabbed my attention was how the book cover looked like.

The book School for Good and Evil is a great book for people who like magical mysteries . I recommend this book to everybody !

I think it was kinda piling up with stuff, but if you like reading and just listing to the words or something like that,or just like fairy tales with a twist. Drama and crazy mix ups, you will enjoy this book just like me. it has lots of suspence with Sophie and Agatha so you might like that and you might like how they end up in the wrong place Or do they... so if you like anything listed above you'll love this book because i love it even though it's really thick.

For two hundred years children have been coming up missing in pairs. At first it was hard to figure out what the pattern was. Then it happened. One child was always beautiful, came from a good home, and was a good kid, while the other was troublesome in every aspect and an outcast from society. But questions still remained. Why? Where were the kids? And who was behind it? When Sophie and Agatha are kidnapped, their ideas of what it would be like if they had been kidnapped are turned upside down as they discover the School of Good and Evil, just as fabled, but instead of good sweet Sophie going to the School of Good, she is somehow send to the School of Evil and Agatha is sent to the School of Good. Totally unfitting of a girl who nobody likes and has a creepy pet cat. Will Sophie and Agatha find out that they really aren’t that different after all and that maybe it wasn’t a mistake they were placed where they were? “‘Hi! Nice to see you! Give me your clothes,’ said Sophie, staring at Agatha’s pink dress.” I can hardly wait for the next book to come out. If you haven’t read this book, I urge you pick up the hardcover as it is so beautifully designed that it totally completes the book and you too will be dying for book two!

Yeah, I'll totally read it! Thanks!

I LOVE this book! So, in the village of Gavaldon, there is a curse. The curse is that every year two children disappear. It could be a girl and a boy or two girls or vice versa. There are two girls very different. Sophie and Agatha. Sophie wants to be a princess and she is beautiful. Agatha is almost the opposite....

Sophie and Agatha live in a special place where people are kidnapped.One for good and one for evil and those people turn into fairy tale characters. When Sophie is kidnapped and Agatha follows, they end up in the wrong schools.Could this be a mix up or is the placement correct?

Sophie and Agatha live in a special town where some people are kidnapped and later on turned into fairytale characters. When Sophie is taken, Agatha races after her. They both end up in schools but, not the ones they thought they would end up in. But, is the placement right and will it actually lead Sophie and Agatha to their real destinies and true selves?

Agatha and Sophie were destined for great things, and they both know that-well, Sophie does. But when they're taken by the School Master, they quickly realize something's wrong-their schools were switched! Or so they think. As Agatha learns about beauty and poise, Sophie is learning about how to be ugly and cast evil spells! But were they REALLY put into the wrong schools?

dorable and adventurous, The School for Good and Evil is a fun escape from reality. When beautiful Sophie and weird Agatha end up in the wrong school - perfect Sophie can't be evil now, can she? - they're determined to fix this unforgiving mistake. This is a magical adventure through and through; the book is set at this School of Good and Evil, a wonderfully imaginative school that trains future fairy tale characters. Meaning when you graduate, you'll be in a fairy tale book; whether a princess, a villain, a gremlin, or even a tree, your faith will be determined by how well you do at this school.
