The land of Stories

The wishing spell episode.....I so love this novel by Chris Colfer. Introduced to me by my 13 year old daughter, I am really glad to have the pleasure of indulging in it over the weekend. I find it quite slow at first, the story of Mrs Peters trying to engage with her bored students with her somewhat boring style did not make me want to read on. However, soon as the leading characters Conner and Alex got swallowed by the book and began their journey in the enhanting land of fairies, I found it difficult to put the book down. Chris is quite a talent; I love his character and how he brought it to life in Glee, and I am still awed by his creative writing. The ending is rather interesting, where the twins found out about their dad and grandma....she is the fairy godmother! Somewhere three quarter into the novel I sort of guessed that the writer of the journal is the twins' dad, but I didn't guess that the grandma is the fairy godmother. Love it! Wish that Scholastic would consider including colorful illustrative pictures in between the pages of upcoming editions
