The Land of Stories #3
Published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers on July 8, 2014
Narrated by Chris Colfer
Summary: "The Brothers Grimm have a warning for the Land of Stories.
Connor Bailey thinks his fairy-tale adventures are behind him - until he discovers a mysterious clue left by the famous Brothers Grimm. With help from his classmate Bree and the outlandish Mother Goose, Conner sets off on a mission across Europe to crack a two-hundred-year-old code.
Meanwhile, Alex Bailey is training to become the next Fairy Godmother... but her attempts at granting wishes never go as planned. Will she ever be truly ready to lead the Fairy Council?
When all signs point to disaster for the Land of Stories, Connor and Alex must join forces with their friends and enemies to save the day. But nothing can prepare them for the coming battle... or for the secret that will change the twins' lives forever."
Holy bazinga! I loved this book! I listened to the audiobook, and I have to say it was really well done. I normally dislike when authors read their own creations, but I really enjoyed Colfer's rendition. I could tell that he really thought about how these characters sounded, and he did make an effort to make them all sound different.
Alex and Connor have definitely grown a lot over the course of this novel. Gone are the kids who accidently popped into the Land of Stories back in the first book. They take matters into their own hands and fight for everything that they love and believe in.
Overall, this series is getting pretty good. There were a couple of bombshells and MAJOR feels in the third book. Now I have to wait patiently (yeah... right) for the fourth book to come out. There's not even a title yet, and apparently book four comes out in July?
Disclosure: I borrowed the audiobook from my local library.
