The School of Good and Evil by Soman Chainani – review

Forget everything you know about fairytales. Everything. Because now, you will find out.

Every year, two children are kidnapped to the School of Good and Evil. After a while, people saw them in the fairytales that would arrive mysteriously a little while after the two children had left. One good and one bad. And from this school heroes where born, such as King Arthur, Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood.

Sophie lives in a boring village, and dreams of going to the school of good and evil, as she always reads the tales. She wears pink, has long blonde hair and is always doing good deeds. On the other hand, Agatha, Sophie's friend, wears hideous black dresses, hates company and lives in a grave yard.

When the two girls are taken, Sophie is looking forward to beautiful princes and her storybook ending as a gorgeous princess. However, there is a turn of events and Sophie ends in in Evil and Agatha in Good! How can Sophie survive Uglyification and wicked aspells while Agatha learns beauty and how to get your prince!

Why was there a mistake? Is this their destiny?

I loved this book as it is very controversial and it shows that you can't judge a book by its cover. I was enthralled at every page by how in-depth the story is. I recommend this book for 10+.
