This book was so good! Alex and Conner Bailey's father died in a car accident several years before. Ever since, their life has been a little off. But on their 12th birthday, their grandmother comes over! She makes their day good with presents, cake, a delicious dinner, and a story book. This was the same storybook that she would read to them when they were younger. Alex takes it to read, but something strange starts happening. The story book glows and vibrates! If you put your ear to it you can even hear...birds chirping? So Alex begans experimenting with the book and drops things in it. They fall down into the book and somehow go to somewhere else! So one day Alex gets sucked up into the book! Conner goes down with her, and they fall right into the Land of Stories! There they meet a Frog who they nickname, Froggy. They also learn about the wishing spell. This is the only way they can get back to the human world. Unfortunately, it seems that someone is also trying to collect the ingredients for the wishing spell. Will Conner and Alex make it out or will they be stuck in The Land of Stories forever? Full of fantasy, adventure, and everything in between this book is such a good book! Plus if you like this book, you're in luck! It's a series, so...why are you still reading this review? Go get the book! Happy reading!

I love this book and the whole series! If you want to get lost in a magical, fantastical, world of stories with characters you might have watched, read, or heard of when you were young, then this is the book series for you. Conner and Alex Bailey's life is about to change drastically when they receive a magical fairy tale storybook for the twelfth birthday. When the twins discover it's magical powers and accidentally fall into it, they end up in The Land Of Stories. It's an incredible separate world where Fairy Tales are real and are alive. Alex and Conner have never been the same since their dad died in a car accident. But when their grandma brings them the Land of Stories book, things start changing. They meet characters and have been following notebooks to make the wishing spell. This is the only way they know of to go back home. Will they be able to come back or stay in the storybook FOREVER? Such a good book! It makes we feel like I am in a whole other world. The author adds so much detail it feels like you’re sucked in with them and it’s so cool that all of the characters you know I’ve met before from when you were a little kid it brings back old memories and it’s so fun to read. Even if you’re not a really big bookworm you’re still love it it’s worth the long read and the books just keep getting better and better and better And the author adds so much detail it feels like Alex and Conner are your best friend and you just get to escape in another world with some of your good friends.
So true
I feel it is exciting
