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
main characters in the book. The first two
books' main purposes are to set the scene
and enable the reader to emerge into the
world of the stories. This book is what
starts to set the theme for how the rest of
the series will play out. This book is the

The Land of Stories: Wishing Spell is a book about

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
