This year, best friends Sophie and Agatha are about to discover where all the lost children go: the fabled school for good and Evil, where ordinary boys and girls are trained to be fairy-tale heroes and villians. As the most beautiful girl in Gavaldon, Sophie has dramed of being kidnapped into an enchanted world her whole life. With her pink dresses, glass slippers, and devotion to good deeds, she knows she'll earn top marks at the School for Good and graduate a storybook princess. Meanwhile, Agatha, with her shapeless black frocks, wicked pet cat, and dislike of nearly everyone seemes a natural fit for the School for Evil.
 
But when the two girls are swept into the Endless Woods, they find their fortunes reversed- and they'll quickly find that the only way out of a fairy tale...is to live through it.
