This week I started reading The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer. This book is about twins, Alex and Conner Bailey. Their grandmother gives them a fairy-tale book that sends them on an adventure. Alex was quiet and very smart, and her brother Conner was always getting in trouble but they both always loved visiting their grandmother. Every night their grandmother and father would read them stories from her big storybook. A few days before the twins turned 11 their father died in a car crash on his way home from the bookstore he owned. After their dad dies, they have a really hard time and lose their house. Their grandmother visits for their birthday and gives them a large, old book with a dark emerald cover that says The Land of Stories in gold writing. It was the book their dad always red them when he was alive. Their grandmother told them she had all the stories memorized and it was for them now. That night Alex looked through the book until she fell asleep, but she heard a humming noise and woke up to find the noise was coming from the book and the pages were glowing. I have not finished this book yet, but I will continue to blog about what I read. Bye!
This book sounds fantastic! I haven’t read it, but now I really want to. Is it scary? What age student do you think would enjoy it?
This book is the first one in a series and it is written by a boy that my mom said was on a show called Glee. It is not scary but It is the biggest book I have ever read.
