Sophia IS going to the School for Good. She IS going to be a
princess. In a real fairytale. With a real prince. She does
everything she a princess should do; she gives her old corsets to the
homeless, donates her not-so-tasty vegetables to those who can't afford
filet mignon, AND she has befriended Agatha, the antisocial daughter of
the town witch. No one (not even that pesky Belle) could possible be a
better princess than Sophia.
To be blunt, Agatha would like to continue living with her cat in the cemetery.
When
the Schoolmaster arrives in the middle of the night, he takes both
girls. And deposits Agatha in the School for Good; Sophia finds herself
surrounded by Nevers, the student body at the School for Evil. As the
Schoolmaster has never made a mistake before, Sophia is quick to start
pointing out her superior good; Agatha sticks out just as much at her
school, but her focus is on going home as what really happens to the
students at the School for Good and Evil quickly becomes clear.
Redefining the old phrase "You can't judge a book by its cover",
this mid-grades novel brings out the best (and the worst) in a world
cast in black and white.
