“With her ambitions for Princess Sophie, she knows she’ll be chosen for the School of Good and join the ranks of former students like Cinderella and Snow White.

“Meanwhile, Agatha, with her dark aesthetic, seems like a natural fit for the villains in the School of Evil.

“However, the fate of the girls soon changed: Sophie was thrown into the School of Evil, Agatha – into the School of Good. But what if the mistake is the first clue to who Sophie and Agatha really are?

“Their friendship will be put to the test in this exciting and comedic story, where the only way out of the fairy tale is to live it.”
