With all five books in one affordable box set, this series is the perfect gift for any fantasy fiction fan aged 8+. The series tells of two best friends and misfits, Sophie and Agatha, that come to realise how both good and evil reside in everyone, but it's the path that we choose that determines our true identity.
Every four years, on the eleventh night of the eleventh month, two children aged 12 and above are stolen from the village of Gavaldon and forced to attend the School for Good and Evil. With her beautiful looks and steadfast determination, Sophie dreams of living out her Happily Ever After as a princess with her prince charming. On the other hand, with her sulky attitude and bug-eyed looks, Agatha is deemed by the village to be the perfect candidate for the School of Evil.
But when Agatha is put to princess training in the School for Good and Sophie is sent to the School for Evil for lessons in witchcraft, the girls start to realise that their initial plans are far from what they really want. In this compelling start to the series, The School for Good and Evil is the perfect book for those wishing to read about a different side to the classic fairytales.
The sequel to this enchanting series, A World Without Princes, follows Agatha and Sophie finally living out their Ever After back at home. But something isn’t right; life isn’t quite the fairytale they expected. When Agatha secretly wishes she’s chosen a different ending to her fairytale, she reopens the gates to the School for Good and Evil once more.
The third book in the series, The Last Ever After, sees Agatha and Sophie go their separate ways, each in the arms of a boy. But as they settle into their new lives, past villains have come back to change their tales and have upended the world of Good and Evil.
The Quests for Glory is the fourth instalment in this enchanting series. Join Sophie, Agatha and Tedros in a new era in the Endless Woods as they move beyond the school's boundaries across unknown lands. In their fourth year, the students must now face their most dangerous and unpredictable tasks, and the stakes are higher than ever.
This magical collection concludes with A Crystal of Time. A false king has claimed the throne of Camelot, and Sophie is forced to be his queen. Now, Agatha and the students must find a way to restore the rightful king to the throne and save Camelot.
