Would you send a villain to do a hero's job? An exciting new twisted fairy tale series from award-winning author Jen Calonita—now in paperback!

Dive into book one of the bestselling Fairy Tale Reform School series, from award-winning author Jen Calonita!

What happens to the villains after happily ever after? Twelve-year-old Gilly isn't so sure that she needs reforming by the (former) villains in Enchantasia...

Gilly wouldn't call herself wicked, exactly. But when you have five little brothers and sisters and live in a run-down boot, you have to get creative to make ends meet. Gilly's a pretty good thief (if she does say so herself).

Until she gets caught.

Gilly's sentenced to three months at Fairy Tale Reform School where all of the teachers are former (super-scary) villains like the Big Bad Wolf, the Evil Queen, and Cinderella's Wicked Stepmother. Harsh. But when she meets fellow students Jax and Kayla, she learns there's more to this school than its heroic mission.

There's a battle brewing and Gilly has to wonder... just how good these bad guys really are?

The Fairy Tale Reform School series is perfect for:

  • Tweens and teens – twelve-year-old girls and eighth-grade readers will love this fun, fast-paced series
  • Classrooms studying fractured and twisted fairy tales
  • Read-alongs between parents and kids
  • Engaging reluctant readers
