A beautiful Collector’s Edition of the first in the bestselling School for Good and Evil series – perfect for gifting!

Best friends Sophie and Agatha have been chosen to be students at the fabled School for Good and Evil, where ordinary boys and girls are trained to become fairy-tale heroes and villains.

One will train for Good, taking classes in Princess Etiquette and Animal Communication. One will become Evil’s new hope: learning Uglification and Death Curses.

Sophie and Agatha think they know where they belong, but when they are swept into the Endless Woods, they’re switched into the opposite schools. Together they’ll discover who they really are and what they are capable of.

Because the only way out of a fairy tale . . . is to live through it.
