Tras la muerte de su padre, la abuela de Alex y Conner les regala algo que significa mucho para ellos: La tierra de las historias, un libro de cuentos que marcó gran parte de sus vidas.

Pero los mellizos no conocen la magia que se esconde en sus páginas. Solo toman conciencia de ella cuando el libro los absorbe y llegan a la Tierra de las Historias, un lugar que a primera vista es encantador, pero que esconde más peligros de los que imaginan.

Existe una sola forma de regresar a casa: el Hechizo de los Deseos. Pero alguien más está buscando los ingredientes para utilizarlo... la villana más temida de todos los tiempos: la Reina Malvada.

¿Quién logrará conseguir primero los ingredientes para el hechizo?

El Hechizo de los Deseos es el primer tomo de la aclamada saga de Chris Colfer, conocido por su papel de Kurt, en la serie de TV Glee. Con una prosa simple y vertiginosa, nos invita a sumergirnos en un mundo en donde todo es posible. Una vez que empieces a leerlo, ya no podrás detenerte...

The very first book I read that started my reading journey! This book is one of the best and one of my all-time favorite fantasy novels. It has everything I look for in a great book and even though it is considered a read for younger readers, I often myself wanting to pick it back up after several other times of reading it. It is expertly written and is considered a classic on my shelf. The characters are fun, engaging, and all have in depth personalities that will often make you smile, laugh and cry all at the same time. After finishing this book every time, I've craved a similar story but have never found a novel that can come close to the hold and love that I have for this book! ( )

After I read Twin Crowns which was a good fantasy novel I hoped that I would enjoy another one similar to that but alas I did not since I couldn't get over all the issues that it had which was a shame and the author could've done a much better job than that. The story starts off with the two main characters Alex and Conner Bailey who live with their grandmother after their father died in a car crash and the former is the only kid in that book who likes fairy tales and so she was given a book called The Land of Stories and somehow she got inside the book alongside her brother. The worldbuilding was fine however the basic writing style kind of ruined it and if it were more descriptive and some questions about it were answered it would've been better but maybe it gets better if I read the five other books in the series as well as the spinoff/prologue to this novel called A Tale of Magic made by the same author. Conner was fine however Alex was a pretentious annoying know-it-all and she really got on my nerves and she only developed her character towards the end of the book when she stopped annoying her brother. They were trapped in the Land of Stories and asked someone how to get home and she gave them a book from his father on eight items they needed to get home and eventually they find them but not before the main antagonist the Evil Queen uses it first and there was also a side plot involving Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks however I didn't care for both of them as they weren't well written and the entire subplot wasn't really needed but it was a nice break from the main plot. Two things that I really didn't like was how Alex and Conner nearly died like 10 times and one time they fell off a cliff into the ocean and a deus ex machina was used when some random mermaids saved them and some of the items were rather easy to get which was a bit convenient and the second thing was the metaphors which were a hasty attempt to try and improve the writing with figurative devices but it didn't work in this case and I disliked them since they made the book a bit worse overall. If you like middle grade fantasy stories pick this one however there are better ones out there you can read like the Keeper of the Lost Cities series by Shannon Messenger or even The School for Good and Evil series by Soman Chainani which I thought was slightly better than this.

"A villain is just a victim who's story is never told" - Evil Queen

I love a good fairytale-retelling but this series is a bit different. It is a mixture of the fairytales we know, the original dark tales they originate from, and imaginative new twists.

There are strong moral themes throughout and broches difficult topics like grieving the loss of a parent, in a way young readers can understand. The twins also learn the importance of compassion and understanding and that not all villains start out evil, that they're sometimes born of circumstance.

The kids remind me of Jack and Annie from Magic Treehouse. Jack and Annie portal through time to historical events and Conner and Alex fall through a book into the fairytale world. Not only is the world building great but the character development is creative and fun as well. Conner's snarky humor is pure gold and had me audibly laughing several times.

The only thing I didn't care for was the occasional cuss word throughout. I just don't see why a kids book needs them no matter what the subject but that is just my opinion. Otherwise, it's great for young readers and adults will enjoy it as well. Happy reading! 📚
