Description: Praise for The School for Good and Evil: "Soman Chainani's whip-smart debut, guaranteed to make any little girl think twice about wanting to be a princess. If I could bewitch you all to read it, I would." - Entertainment Weekly (Grade A) "Invention in overdrive, indulging in a gnarly smackdown of folklore conventions, THE SCHOOL OF GOOD AND EVIL is a comedic education by a writer primed to shoot to the head of the class." - Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked "Wow. From the very first sentence, you know you're entering a thrilling world of strange fantasy. The beautiful Sophie can't wait to be kidnapped by the mysterious School Master. And I couldn't wait, either--because I knew I was in for a wild and dangerous fairy tale ride. I loved this book." - R. L. Stine, author of the bestselling Goosebumps series "Although many have tried, no writer has quite been able to reach the 'top rung' on the ladder when it comes to the 'best' in tween fantasy...until now. This is a fairytale/adventure/thriller/fantasy with humor and characters readers will never forget." - Amy E. Lignor, author of The Angel Chronicles "A funny, frightening and fully satisfying novel that explores the meaning of true love and the vast gray area between good and evil." - San Francisco Chronicle "A droll fairy tale of sorts with appeal for all ages...quite funny and already optioned by Joe Roth, the producer of "Oz the Great and Powerful." - New York Daily News "A fairy tale like no other, complete with romance, magic, humor, and a riddle that will keep you turning pages until the end." - Ann M. Martin, author of the bestselling Babysitter's Club series "Soman Chainani has beautifully imagined the world where fairy tales come to life: a place where for every fairy princess with a Happily Ever After in their future, there is a villain with a tragic fate in store. But in THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL it's not always certain which is which." - David Magee, screenwriter of Life of Pi and Finding Neverland "It is not often that someone comes along who can reinvent fairy tales and reclaim their magic in ways that are truly forchildren. Soman Chainani takes the racing energy of Roald Dahl's language and combines it with the existential intensity of J.K. Rowling's plots to create his own universe, inhabited by characters we grow to love. The School for Good and Evil uses the sorcery of words and the poetry of friendship to startle, enchant, and keep us turning its pages." - Maria Tatar, Chair of Folklore and Mythology Program, Harvard University and Editor of The Classic Fairy Tales Reimagines the world of fairy tales and will make you question who is good and who is evil... Loved it. - RICK RIORDAN, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Percy Jackson and The Olympians
