The Land of Stories - The Enchantress Returns - Author Chris Colfer

The Land of Stories is in danger again—and this time, it’s personal. When twins Alex and Conner Bailey discover that the evil Enchantress has returned and kidnapped their mother, they are thrust back into the fairy-tale world they thought they'd left behind.

Defying their grandmother—none other than the Fairy Godmother—they find their own way into the magical realm. But the Enchantress is more powerful than ever, and her plan threatens both the Land of Stories and the real world. Alex and Conner must face deadly challenges, unite unexpected allies, and summon the strength to stand against an enemy who once cursed Sleeping Beauty.

A thrilling second installment in Chris Colfer’s bestselling series, The Enchantress Returns weaves action, humour and heart into a story that keeps readers turning the pages.

Why we—and schools—like it:

• Builds narrative stamina and literary analysis through complex storylines and moral dilemmas.
• Reinforces themes of courage, loyalty and family that resonate with middle grade readers.
• Excellent for interdisciplinary projects that connect literature with mythology and folklore.
