About this deal

The Evil Queen meets with her Huntsman and his daughter and commands them to retrieve the Wishing Spell items so she can use it before Alex and Conner do, since the Spell can only be activated one more time. The Magic Mirror warns her that the spell can only be used twice and was already used once before. It's hard not to love [the book]...Colfer gets off many good lines [and] the nifty ending ties the plot's multiple strands up while leaving room for further fairy tale adventures." (Publishers Weekly). Once upon a time' These are the most magical words our world has ever known and the gateway to the greatest stories ever told. They're an immediate calling to anyone who hears them-a calling into a world where everyone is welcome and anything can happen. Mice can become men, maids can become princesses, and they can teach valuable lessons in the process.”

The Wishing Spell follows the journey of Alex and Conner Bailey after they plummet through their grandmother's storybook into another dimension where all the infamous fairy-tale characters reside. Sometimes we forget about our own advantages because we focus on what we don't have. Just because you have to work a little harder at something that seems easier to others doesn't mean you're without your own talents.”

Customer reviews

The Dragon is an antagonistic creature. The Masked Man retrieved it in its egg form for General Marquis and later helped them try to destroy the Fairy Kingdom. It was killed by the Fairy Godmother. The Book Huggers are a group of intelligent girls who are on to Alex and Conner. Their names are Mindy McClowsky, Cindy Strutherbergers, Lindy Lenkins and Wendy Takahashi. Originally, they ran the book club at their school. But after Alex and Conner's suspicious disappearance, they abandon it in favor of a conspiracy club. Everybody thinks they hit their heads, but they know what they see. They are eccentric. Wendy is selectively mute and is sometimes ignored a bit because of that. In the last book, they followed Conner and his friends. When the Book Huggers find them trapped in the library, they interrogate Conner until he admits what has been going on in the last few years and apologises, only then they set Conner and his friends free. In one of the last chapters, it is mentioned that they are the Sister Grimm's new recruits. In The Land of Stories, Colfer showcases his talent for crafting fancifully imaginative plots and multidimensional characters."
