tl;dr | ✭✭✭✭✭ | This book was a test of sorts for me, to see if I can still get into kids/mg books. And I most definitely can. I love, loved this story. It was fantastic! So well written, great characters, a great take a fairytale setup. Its definitely a new favorite. I would suggest it to everyone....
I really really enjoyed reading this book. The worldbuilding was clever enough, but what really kept me interested was the relationship between the two girls. Even having just finished the first book in the series, I'm torn between hoping Sophie and Agatha get together, and hoping that Agatha ditche...
At the School for Good and Evil, failing your fairy tale is not an option. Welcome to the School for Good and Evil, where best friends Sophie and Agatha are about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. In a village called Gavadill, two children are kidnapped every four years, no matter how the v...
This story started out so good, but it kinda left me waiting after the first half. And in the end, I think it missed the point. If this story is about how not to be superficial or what it really means to be good, then I personally never found out. The story transformed from "The school for good and ...
The boys went off to fight with swords while girls had to learn dog barks and owl hoots. No wonder princesses were so impotent in fairy tales, she thought.

My favorite aspects of this book are the characterizations of the two protagonists especially (Sophie and Agatha) and the way the story deconstructs the good vs evil dichotomy found in fairy tales. I'm less impressed with the execution of the storytelling in some areas--there are moments that are dr...
I loved this! I was a little nervous about this since there are some many fairy-tale re-tellings out now. But this one was different and totally took me by surprise. I loved the whole concept of a school where good and evil learn their trade and how Sophie and Agatha could fit into both schools. I r...
Mini-Review here: Yet another story where fairy tale characters exist and go to boarding school to teach them to be a hero/heroine or villain. Much overused trope lately, methinks. In this one, Sophie and Agatha are kidnapped from their village and forced to go to the "School of Good" or the "School...
See more of my reviews on The YA Kitten! Warning: There is no sugarcoating to be found here. The School for Good and Evil sounds awesome in concept. Maybe I expected too much from it--I don't think I did because middle-grade is just as capable of saying something and being intelligent as book fr...
