The Land Of Stories: A Grimm Warning

This is the 3rd book in the series “Land of

Stories”. This book is one of my favorite

books in the series since this is when

things start to drastically change for the

The Land of Stories: Wishing Spell is a book about

two twin siblings who get stuck in the book of

fairytales provided by their grandmother. The

for young kids, especially those in middle school

since that is the age of the characters in the

book. Personally, this is one of my favorite
