The School for Good and Evil

Best friends Sophie and Agatha are kidnapped from their village and taken to the mysterious School for Good and Evil, where children are trained to become fairy tale heroes and villains. Sophie, who dreams of being a princess, is shocked to find herself dropped into the School for Evil, while plain, grumpy Agatha lands in the School for Good. Convinced there's been a terrible mistake, the girls must navigate a world of magic, danger, and impossible challenges while trying to find their way back home—or discover where they truly belong. This imaginative twist on classic fairy tales explores themes of identity, friendship, and the blurred lines between good and evil. The story challenges readers to question their assumptions about beauty, goodness, and destiny as Sophie and Agatha's bond is tested by their contrasting circumstances. With its clever subversion of familiar fairy tale tropes, vivid world-building, and complex character development, the book appeals to middle-grade readers who enjoy fantasy adventures with heart and humor. It's perfect for fans of fairy tale retellings who are ready for a story that asks what happens when you don't fit the role you're supposed to play.
