A review was published on Goodreads and amazon, however for the purposes of feedback and title support in netgalley I enjoyed this book.

Agatha and Sophie are friends although they are like chalk and cheese. Sophie desperately wants to be picked to go to the School for Good and Evil as she feels certain that she is destined to be a princess. Agatha doesn't want to be separated from her. The School Master ends up picking them both, although Sophie isn't placed in the School for Good.

Whilst they appear to be in the 'wrong' schools it makes for fascinating reading what the pair get up to as Agatha just wants to get Sophie out of there alive and return home (if at all possible).

This is such a fun book. The premise is brilliant. Kids have been missing over the course of time, disappearing in pairs, never to be seen again (apart from in the story books). A School of Good & Evil have been taking children and pairing them, one being the nemesis/villain whilst the other is the good. They go to school and be trained for their eventual position in fairy tales. Sophie is dressed in pinks, Agatha in dreary black...so when the girls get picked for the Fairytale School for Good & Evil, Sophie is sure that Agatha is her nemesis, until Sophie is picked for the School of Evil and Agatha was picked for the School of Good. Now they must work together, to reinstate the "correct" school for each girl.

This book was so fun to read, it is mainly aimed at MG rather than YA but it was still such a fun read. I loved the notion of a fairytale School of Good & Evil and reading about the different classes they had, basically learning how to be a princess/goodwitch/fairygodmother vs nemesis/villain. It's such a creative story and I really enjoyed it.

It was brilliant to see the "moral" of the story....and as we see the real "girls" emerge from this experience. Highly recommend it and looking forward to reading book 2 and emerging myself back into this world.

I only gave it 3 out of 5 as whilst I love the character and the prose, and boy was it entertaining, mid-way through the book I started getting confused with somethings that went on. I will definitely be re-reading when I pick up the consecutive books, maybe then I'll understand better. Still recommended it and brilliant read for those in Middle Grade.

I didn’t like this as much as I expected to and therefore I didn’t finish it

I wasn't able to finish this book as it was so, so boring.
