This book was about the adventure that Alex and her twin brother Conner had the land of fairy tales where everything they have ever dreamed about is real. They slip into the pages of their grandmothers fairy tale book by accident. They meet a frog who tells them that the only way to escape back to their world is to go the hunt for the Wishing Spell items. The Wishing Spell poem is glass that housed a lonely soul up till midnights final toll. (Cinderella). A Saber from the deepest sea, meant for a grooms mortality (Keeping this one a secret). A bark of a basket held in fright while running from a bark with bite (Red Riding Hood). A stony crown that's made to share, found deep within a savage lair (Keeping a secret too). A needle that pierced the lovely skin of a princess with beauty found within (Sleeping Beauty). A wavy lock of golden hair that once was freedom's only hope. (Rapunzel). Glittering jewels whose value increased after preserving the false deceased (Snow White). Teardrops of a maiden fairy feeling neither magical nor merry. The ventured thorough the different kingdoms meeting the famous people the Grimm brothers wrote about. Each of the princesses castles they snuck into, each with their own different personalities, offering advise, escaping from wolves, and getting into lots of trouble. The heard the story of the real evil queen (the one from snow white) and discovered their dad was from the Land of Stories. How they get back home I am going to leave a surprise though. I don't want to ruin the story.
I have always enjoyed anything fairy tale and magic related. This book was a combination of Narnia and Once Upon a Time. The author even had some modern things mixed in with it. I really enjoyed this and want to continue with the rest of the series. I also discovered a new author.
