Ratings and reviews

This guys series are THE BEST boos in the world!!!!! I absolutely LOVE original fairy tales, but haven't gotten a single book of one sadly.... These books make me happy and they are long and keep me occupied :) This is probably the first book that I want to go on forever!!!! If u love fairy tales and twists in them, you should definitely get this book!!!! Hope you have fun reading these books!!!!!!!! (Read on for tiny spoilers) Book 1: Alex and Conner discover the fairy tale world and find out that there grandma is Fairy Godmother and there dad is her son! Book 2: They fight the Enchantress (You know, the one from Sleeping Beauty) Book 3: Napoleon's anomy crosses to the Fairy-Tale World after 200 yrs and the twins find out that there dad is still alive but, a villain called The Masked Man. Book 4: Just about to read :D

I enjoyed reading the different stories Connor came up with. They are silly and strange, but surprisingly do have a unique and clever plot. The cliff-hanger at the end is making me so anxious to read the next one! 😝

I love the book series, I always imagined I was in the books. I don't like how it leaves you on a cliff hanger though. I encourage you fellow readers to start reading the five kingdoms. I really like made up stories.
