Summary

The School for Good and Evil is now a major motion picture from Netflix—starring Academy Award winner Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Yeoh, Sofia Wylie, Sophie Anne Caruso, Jamie Flatters, Earl Cave, Kit Young and more!

The battle between Good and Evil begins.

Two brothers. One Good. One Evil.

Go back in time to the beginning of the School for Good and Evil and uncover the never-before-told events leading up to Sophie and Agatha’s dramatic arrival and the beginning of their epic fairy tale.

Together, they watch over the Endless Woods. Together, they choose the students for the School for Good and Evil. Together, they train them, teach them, prepare them for their fate.

Then, something happens. Something that will change everything and everyone. Who will survive? Who will rule the School?

The journey starts here. With magic, surprises and daring deeds at every turn, courage and loyalty will be put to the test, only to lead you to the very beginning of the adventures that are The School for Good and Evil.

Another great addition to my favourite ever series

No matter how popular these books get, they'll still be painfully underrated. I've been following the School for Good and Evil since the third installment, and I've never once been disappointed in it. The series has comforted me through some of my worst days, bringing magic and wonder to a world that sometimes has a very short supply of it.

I would firmly recommend this series to anyone and everyone. If I have any success in life, it will be because these books were behind me, inspiring and supporting me every step of the way. A true and underappreciated modern classic of children's literature.

Outstanding narration

This is possibly the best narration I have heard in an audiobook. the overall tone was so listenable and each character was distinct and believable.

It’s it’s it’s…meh 🫤

So it’s uh okay long confusing too many chapters to many people it’s kind of ear pain
It was okay I liked it to be honest the main series is much better I don’t care how popular these books get it just will not impress me
There just too confusing it keeps switch people throughout the book
(SPOILER) in the main books I hate the way tedros betrays Sophie and this book made my hatred for the series worse this book is just ear pain
It’s was just so bland so long like I just can’t deal with it




































Okay okay I HATED THIS BOOK ITS SO ANNOYING
