When Brystal Evergreen stumbles across a secret section of the library, she discovers a book that introduces her to a world beyond her imagination and learns the impossible: she is a fairy capable of magic! But in the oppressive Southern Kingdom, women are forbidden from reading and magic is outlawed, so Brystal is swiftly convicted of her crimes and sent to the miserable Bootstrap Correctional Facility.

But with the help of the mysterious Madame Weatherberry, Brystal is whisked away and enrolled in an academy of magic! Adventure comes with a price, however, and when Madame Weatherberry is called away to attend to an important problem, she doesn't return.

Do Brystal and her classmates have what it takes to stop a sinister plot that risks the fate of the world, and magic, forever?

Are you a land of stories fan? I sure am i read the land of stories series with my son and we devoured them. Even though i am way beyond the age that this series is recommend for i throughly enjoy it. Chris Colfer for me is ranked right along side my love for Harry Potter. Each story and series is enthralling, adventurous and keeps me throughly entertained to the last page.
This series is set as in the same universe as land of stories but you don't need to read them first to enjoy them. Though you might have a bit more of a thrill if you do as you feel like you have the inside secrets that someone who not familiar with the series dosen't have.
I loved Brystal she reminds me a lot of myself wanting to devour books and her job at the library cleaning sign me up. Though i not sure how much cleaning I would do in a library. The other characters are all just as enjoyable and sure everyone who picks up this book will find one to identify with. The plot twist at the end i sort of guessed ahead of time but not all of it so i was still pleasantly impressed with it. This is a page turner and I implore you to (if not for yourself for that book loving kid your life) pick this one up.
