[ Children's Fiction (Ages 10-12) ]
[Read by Polly Lee]

In the epic sequel to The School for Good and Evil, Sophie and Agatha are home, living out their Ever After. But life isn't quite the fairy tale they expected. When Agatha secretly wishes she'd chosen a different happy ending, she reopens the gates to the School for Good and Evil. But the world she and Sophie once knew has changed. Witches and princesses, warlocks and princes are no longer enemies. New bonds are forming; old bonds are being shattered. But underneath this uneasy arrangement, a war is brewing and a dangerous enemy rises. --Soman Chainani has created a spectacular world that Newbery Honor-winning author Ann M. Martin calls ''a fairy tale like no other, complete with romance, magic, and humor that will keep you turning pages until the end.''

Love this book! The sequel was much faster than the first one now that I know the characters' more and its storyline. Really enjoyed reading this book, and it has made me want to read the third book in this series. Great moments, and the suspense and excitement captivate each page. Highly recommend!

    I have had an extremely difficult time getting my daughter interested in reading. Before the School for Good & Evil books she had only once before read for personal enjoyment.

    She is now on her second read-through of these books, and can hardly stop talking about them.

    Full of action, drama, this is a fairytale like no other. Where the lines of good and evil are blurred to the point where one doubts whether a princess really is as pure as she shows herself to be and villains may not be as bad as we all thought them to be. This book will have you at the edge of your seat which each page bringing you closer to an ending you could've never imagined in your wildest dreams. I can't wait to see what happens in book 3 now!

    It came in perfect conditions and the book inside is complex and beautiful especially the relationship between Agatha and Sophie wich in it ,Sophie finally saw how much she needed Agatha but I wish Agatha and Tedros would interract more as a couple.

    The ending was amazing and I can't wait for more.

    A WORLD WITHOUT PRINCES - SCHOOL
    4 GOOD AND EVIL

    Although not as scrumptious as the first installment in the school for Good and Evil series, A World Without Princes was still a very enjoyable read.
    📚📚

    In book 2 Agatha and Sophie end up back in the School for Good and Evil. However nothing is as it was and instead of Good of Evil, it's now a school for Girls and Boys. Just like in the 1st book the Girls only wish to go home. But to make that happen they will have to find a way to change their re-opened fairytale . This time however there seem to be more players entwined into their story and that of course ups the ante when it comes to getting back home ...
    📚📚

    Eventhough this book's plot was more eventful than that of the previous one, for some weird reason it took me longer to get into it. Maybe because it has a slightly darker tone right from the beginning. Or maybe because the very hot & entitled prince Tedros is starting to get on my damnn nerves. I did however warm up to some of the Never girls (yep, the evil ones) simply because they always tell it like it is and are freaking hilarious without even trying ...
    📚📚

    To sum it all up the eventful twists, the wittiness, the whimsy, the somewhat darker magic, the pretty damnn cool Never girls and the actually quite spectaculair ending ... absolutely make me want to read "The Last Ever After" and therefore somewhere in the near future I surely will 😊

    Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2014

    This is the second book of The School for Good and Evil. It picks up a few months after the ending of book one and it was AMAZING! I really want book three now!

    The setting is just as good as it was in book one. We are wished back in to the world of Good vs. Evil. With new twists, turns, and new characters, As well as saying hello to ones we already know. I really love how the author creates these great situations that test the boundaries of true love and friendship. I think that Sophie really is trying to be good, but she needs to look at what she is doing in a larger world view. Because, a lot of times she thinks she is doing good to save her friend and all she is really doing is saving her own skin. Agatha is learning that sometimes a friend is not all you need. Its ok when you are little. But, as you grow up you really need more. I thought that maybe they were going to turn Sophie into a boy and end the story that way. But, wow was I surprised at the turn of events. The author did an amazing job creating a mystery that you really just didn't know what was going on. You find that you were thinking one thing to only find out that the truth was out of left field of wonderful and amazing.

    This book will not disappoint true fans of this series. I thought it was face paced and yummy! And it still amazes me that a guy wrote this book about two little girls growing up in a world where Fairy Tales are real and Good vs. Evil might be the least of their issues.
