The Enchantress Returns - Chris Colfer

Last month,
I read and fell in love with 
Chris Colfer
did an amazing job
of bringing fairy tales to life.
So,
of course,
I had to get the second book in
The Land of Stories.

In The Enchantress Returns
the evil enchantress,
the one that cursed Sleeping Beauty
is back.
And she wants revenge!
Part of her plan
is to kidnap the granddaughter
of the Fairy Godmother. 
However,
she ends up kidnapping Charlotte,
Connor and Alex's mother instead. 

Now the twins must find their way back
into the Land of Stories
and find a way to save their mother.

Colfer brings up our favourite characters
from the first book.
Red Riding Hood is still as shallow as ever!
But he also introduces us to new ones,
and gives them their own stories.
Have you ever wondered why Cinderella's
stepmother was so mean?
Maybe she was just misunderstood?
Wonder why the name Beauty
is used twice?
I mean,
there's Beauty
from Beauty and the Beast
and then there's 
Sleeping Beauty.
Hmmmm.....
could they be related?

Once again,
I was transported into a land of stories
and loved Connor and Alex's adventures.
