The Land of Stories: Beyond the Kingdoms - Author Chris Colfer

Fairy tales are just the beginning...

The Masked Man has escaped—and now it's up to Alex and Conner Bailey to stop him. But things aren’t easy when Alex has been dismissed from the Fairy Council and their warnings are falling on deaf ears. With only a small group of loyal friends—Goldilocks, Jack, Red Riding Hood, Mother Goose, and her faithful gander Lester—the twins must uncover the Masked Man’s plan before he wreaks havoc across storybook worlds.

His secret weapon? A magical potion that turns any book into a portal—and he’s using it to assemble an army of fiction’s most fearsome villains. From Oz to Neverland to Wonderland, Alex and Conner must journey beyond the kingdoms they know to stop a threat bigger than ever before.

Full of heart-pounding action, humour, and literary twists, Beyond the Kingdoms is the unforgettable fourth instalment in The Land of Stories series.
