Publisher's summary

THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL will soon be a major motion picture from Netflix—starring Academy Award winner Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Yeoh, Sofia Wylie, Sophie Anne Caruso, Jamie Flatters, Earl Cave, Kit Young, and more!

The New York Times bestselling School for Good and Evil series 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?

Don't miss the thrilling conclusion to the beloved series, The School for Good and Evil #6: One True King!

Fun magical YA read

This was a fun YA adult read perfect for fans of fractured fairy tales and magic strewn worlds. I loved the character development and world building. Highly entertaining. I will definitely continue the series. Narration on the audible was also perfect. Highly recommend it to fans of fairy tales, magic and light YA reads.

Loved It

I’ve been reading this book with my kids, and occasionally we’ll listen to the audio version on the way to school. My kids are 10 and 12, and I love it as much as they do. It’s not too adult for them, but not too childish for me either. The story is quite enjoyable, and the narration is fantastic. Def recommend for all ages.

Amazing a must read

Overall I could not put this book down. The chapters got better and better. The narrator was the perfect choice. She read this book so well. I could truly visualize each character with the changes of her voice. It was overall an amazing story and very well written. Very impressed. Looking forward to the movie and the next book.

The beginning

This was a great book. I’ve read it but there’s just something about a oral telling of a tale that just makes it come alive!
