So this book. Lets start with the positives of the book. It has a great plot and story line with fun characters. It has a really great story line. Like, a really really great story line and plot. The only thing is though (moving on to the negatives) I found myself trying to understand where the characters are, and how they got places, and what are they doing. Overall, it lacks description. If you need detail and description to read a book. this may not be for you. Let's see . . . The summery. Sophie has always wanted her happily ever after. Every four years, two kids are chosen and taken by a headmaster to The School Of Good And Evil. These kids live a magical fairy tale life on the good or evil side. In the town where Sophie lives, the bookseller gets a book delivered to his door once in a while that tells the tale of those children and what they did. The bookseller copies them and sells them. That's not important though. Sophie wants to be chosen and the day finally arrives. She has hope her dreams will finally come true and she will be chosen for The School Of Good! On the other hand, her best friend Agatha doesn't really care and the town suspects she might be chosen for The School Of Evil. While Sophie is good and beautiful, Agatha is dark and scary as you know. Sophie is kidnapped and Agatha tries to hold her back but comes along instead. They see the two castles in the distance and they get dropped off one in one of the castles, and the other one in the other castle. Want to take a wild guess who go dropped off in which castle? Agatha ended up in The School Of Good and Sophie ended up in The School Of Evil. Sophie's roommates are Hester, Anadil, and Dot, who teach Sophie their ways of evil and revenge while Agatha has to deal with pink dresses, candy, and annoyingly handsome boys. So. I guess you can read this if you want to, I just gave you my opinion. If you read through this whole review, great! I know this was long. So If you do read it, I hope you like it and . . . Yup that's all I have to say about this book. Thanks for reading!!

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 love this book. I finished it yesterday.
This is an AWESOME book! I have read the entire series and i have officially named it #1 book. It’s about two girls, Sophie and Agatha who are kidnapped to go to the school for good and evil where adventure, sadness, and pleasure awaits them
this is such a good book!! i have read the entire series and it is REALLY good. its about two girls who are kidnapped to the school for good and evil, where many adventures await them.
This is such an amazing book! The story about two girls who've got switched up somehow and how a handsome boy named Tedros gets in the way. It's a beautiful story and I can't wait for the sixth book to come out. I'm not supposed to put links to other websites but anyone who loves this series can search up this and will find a website for this series. Sophie is a powerful girl and lets people know it, she wears whatever she wants and goes after Tedros even though she is a never. The coven: Hester, Anadil, and Dot, are Sophie's roomates and they eventually become frenemies and teach Sophie they're ways while Agatha has to deal with pink dresses, candy, and annoyingly handsome boys. The Storian decides to start their story and the story doesn't stop. Tedros thinks he's choosing Sophie, but really he's choosing poor Agatha. This is a page-turning book full of surprises and a series full of plot twists.
I read this during 3rd grade and it was great!
I think I'll be okay I don't know if it's for (PG),so I don't have to be surprised that I get too upset.
I read this book and the rest of the serie. And it's my favourite series of books. The storie is so twisted you can never know what will happen next. And one of the many things I love about it is how I feel so connected to the personages. People like Sophie who seem to have it all can relate because they get how tiring it can be to keep up appearances and people like Agatha who are more of an outsider get to feel what it feels like to be an insider. But the thing i love most about the serie is the ending. The way the author can make it seem like a happy and unhappy one with only one ending to work with. I strongly recommend everyone to read this book.
