Best friends Sophie and Agatha have been chosen to be students at the fabled School for Good and Evil, where ordinary boys and girls are trained to become fairy-tale heroes and villains.

One will train for Good, taking classes in Princess Etiquette and Animal Communication. One will become Evil’s new hope: learning Uglification and Death Curses.
