The Land of Stories: Wishing Spell By: Maddy McGowan Ms. Stephen’s 5th Grade Class The book The Land of Stories: Wishing Spell by Chris Colfer is an extraordinary story for children. The book depicts twins that get transported into a mystical fairytale world. They go on a quest to leave this strange world, and meet some unusual characters who help them find items for the wishing spell to return home. The kids soon find out they aren’t the only ones who want top concoct this spell. I enjoyed this book because it was funny, it had mystery, and as the author clearly states, what is going on is easy to understand. I highly recommend this book to kids, teenagers and adults. Rating:
