[The School for Good and Evil 01] • The Ever Never Handbook

_The first kidnappings happened two hundred years before. Some years it was

two boys taken, some years two girls, sometimes one of each. But if at first

the choices seemed random, soon the pattern became clear. One was always

beautiful and good, the child every parent wanted as their own. The other was

homely and odd, an outcast from birth. An opposing pair, plucked from youth

and spirited away._

This year, best friends Sophie and Agatha are about to discover where all the

lost children go: the fabled School for Good & Evil, where ordinary boys and

girls are trained to be fairy tale heroes and villains. As the most beautiful

girl in Gavaldon, Sophie has dreamed of being kidnapped into an enchanted

world her whole life. With her pink dresses, glass slippers, and devotion to

good deeds, she knows she’ll earn top marks at the School for Good and

graduate a storybook princess. Meanwhile Agatha, with her shapeless black

frocks, wicked pet cat, and dislike of nearly everyone, seems a natural fit

for the School for Evil.

But when the two girls are swept into the Endless Woods, they find their

fortunes reversed—Sophie’s dumped in the School for Evil to take Uglification,

Death Curses, and Henchmen Training, while Agatha finds herself in the School

For Good, thrust amongst handsome princes and fair maidens for classes in

Princess Etiquette and Animal Communication.. But what if the mistake is

actually the first clue to discovering who Sophie and Agatha really are…?
