Through the mysterious powers of a cherished book of stories, they leave their world behind and find themselves in a foreign land full of wonder and magic, where they come face-to-face with the fairytale characters they grew up reading about.

But after a series of encounters with witches, wolves, goblins, and trolls alike, getting back home is going to be harder than they thought.

Listener Opinions

    " On accident, we began our Land of Stories adventure with Book IV. We were on a long road trip and after hearing book IV, we HAD to start at the start. Audiobooks had a great way for us to continue the journey. This story is great for all ages. "

    " I'm a huge fan of Chris Colfer. He is a young talented guy. He's just amazingly awesome. I took this book not just because he wrote it but because it seems really attractive. I wanted to finish it in one day, it's really a good story. It's was detailed - sometimes too much details - and I love the way he makes the caracters speaks. I like the fact that he make Alex the opposite of Conner. I really recommended people to read this book :) "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Leta Blake | 2/9/2014

    " Hooray! This has been a completely delightful bedtime read with my 7yo. We laughed, we teared up, we were excited. The child was on the edge of her seat for some of it. Because I've read a book or two in my life, most of the revelations were not a surprise to me, but she's still young enough to really get excited by such things. Happy we bought it. I have a feeling she'll remember it forever. "

    " At first I wasn't so sure about this book but it won me over. Kudos to Chris for taking these characters and making something new.Very good read. "

    " OMG!!!! This book was so great. Every character, plot part, and setting was just amazing! I can't wait for the sequel and to read more of Chris Colfer's awesome imagination! "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Melissa Watson | 1/26/2014

    " A creative look at the fairy tale lives that aren't quite the happily ever after we heard as children. Two siblings travel through their book to a land of stories. They meet Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty. They search for treasures to make the Wishing Spell to get back home. In their search, the Evil Queen searches for the same. I recommend this book to anyone who is still young at heart. "

    " I don't know if it was because my expectations were maybe too high or if it was because it's a middle grade book or what but The Wishing Spell was just ok for me. "
