Best friends, princess-wannabe Sophie and witch-y Agatha, are kidnapped from their homes in Gavaldon and wrongly placed (or is it?) in the School for Evil and the School for Good, respectively. After subverting several fairy-tale tropes, the girls must combine forces. Chainani's characters are close to stereotypes, but the theme that everyone harbors good and evil is strong.
