The land of stories is a book that puts my mind into a different world full of fantasy and mystery. The land of stories is a fairy tale and fantasy fiction book.

The land of stories is about twins named Alex and Conner, they get trapped inside a book which they realise is full of magic and wonder. They explore everything there is to see with mysteries along the way and see numerous tales in stories they used to read.

I would recommend this book to years 3-6 because it is quite a challenging book to read if you're younger but in my opinion younger readers would enjoy a fantasy fiction book. I would rate this book a 4 ½ out of five because there's always room for improvement but it’s just so intriguing and puts your mind into a different world.

Ever heard of fairy tales? Imagine them with a TWISTED and EVIL spin! All in the action-packed, AMAZINGLY engaging: The Land Of Stories! Definitely a 5/5 rating from me (and probably you too) I’d recommend this book for 10-year-olds and over as it’s a fantasy.

The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell is an amazing Fairy-tale, fantasy fiction novel written by Chris Colfer. It’s jampacked with twists, excitement and intriguing plans. With the help of an old journal can the twins find their way home? With evil witches, wolves, goblins and trolls hot on their trail will the twins ever see their family again?

The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell is his first novel and it is definitely five out of five stars. From ages 8+ you will certainly enjoy this book. I loved this book because it had so many twists and a bunch of excitement.

‘Suddenly, a bright red bird flew out of the book. The twins screamed and ran around in panic.’ Alex and Conner Bailey have just turned twelve and live in a small rental house. Twelve is a young age to have a life-threatening adventure. Join the twins as they go on the biggest scavenger hunt in the world of fairy tales. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it for years 10 and above with a 5 out of 5-star rating.
