Would you send a villain to do a hero's job? Flunked is an exciting new twisted fairy tale from the award-winning author of the Secrets of My Hollywood Life series. "Charming fairy-tale fun." -Sarah Mlynowski, author of the New York Times bestselling Whatever After series. Gilly wouldn't call herself wicked, exactly...but when you have five little brothers and sisters and live in a run-down boot, you have to get creative to make ends meet. Gilly's a pretty good thief (if she does say so herself). Until she gets caught. Gilly's sentenced to three months at Fairy Tale Reform School where all of the teachers are former (super-scary) villains like the Big Bad Wolf, the Evil Queen, and Cinderella's Wicked Stepmother. Harsh. But when she meets fellow students Jax and Kayla, she learns there's more to this school than its heroic mission. There's a battle brewing and Gilly has to wonder: can a villain really change? "Fairy Tale Reform School is spellbinding and wickedly clever. Gilly is smart, spunky, and a hilarious narrator, and I cannot wait to read about her next adventure!" -Leslie Margolis, author of the Annabelle Unleashed novels and the Maggie Brooklyn mysteries "Fairy Tale Reform School is a fresh and funny take on the enchanted world. (And who hasn't always wanted to know what happened to Cinderella's stepmother?)" -Julia DeVillers, author of the Trading Faces identical twin series and Emma Emmets, Playground Matchmaker

Something I think I would’ve loved as a kid, but falls a bit flat now. Reading this is quick and... fine. I don’t think I need to read the rest of the series though.

Ik hou echt van de sprookjeswereld, dus ik wilde dit boek ook super graag lezen! Villains gone good is toch wel een apart verhaal dacht ik zo... Dat klopt wel hoor! Maar wat ik wel erg lastig vond is dat je soms niet weet welke villain wie precies is in de klassieke sprookjes, al denk ik dat ik mezelf teveel vast heb gehouden aan de klassieke sprookjes. Het verhaal is leuk, grappig en heerlijk om tussendoor even te lezen.
