Would you send a villain to do a hero’s job? An exciting new twisted fairy tale series from award-winning author Jen Calonita.
Full of regret, Cinderella’s wicked stepmother, Flora, has founded the Fairy Tale Reform School with the mission of turning the wicked and criminally mischievous into upstanding members of Enchantasia.
Impish, sassy 12-year-old Gilly has a history of petty theft and she’s not too sorry about it. When she lifts a hair clip, she gets tossed in reform school-for at least three months. But when she meets fellow students Jax and Kayla, she learns there’s more to this school than its sweet mission. There’s a battle brewing and she starts to wonder: can a villain really change?
As I expected, this book was a ton of fun to read! While the age group this book is aimed at will probably love it the most, there’s a lot here to love for us older readers as well. Imagine a reform school for the villainous. A magical place filled with Pegasus riding classes and mermaid teachers. If you’re a fan of fairy tale retellings, this story will definitely make you smile.
