In the highly anticipated continuation of the Land of Stories series, Conner learns that the only place to fight the Masked Man's literary army is inside his own short stories!

When the twins and their friends enter worlds crafted from Conner's imagination, finding allies no one else could have ever dreamed of, the race begins to put an end to the Masked Man's reign of terror. Can the twins finally restore peace in the fairy tale world?



Cover:  I love this cover.  The covers for this series are just stunning! Some of my favourites.

This series is amazing!  
Book 5 in The Land of Stories was one of my most highly anticipated releases of this year.
And I wasn't disappointed.  The series just goes from strength to strength.  Chris Colfer has created such a beautiful and diverse world that completely absorbs me while I'm reading.  The characters are delightful, and in each book we meet more.
A series that I recommend to everyone, and now I have to wait an age for the next book!
5/5 stars.
