Everyone, that is, except Gilly, who can’t seem to focus on anything but Anna.

the Beast) have joined the teaching staff. Rumpelstiltskin has been ousted, and everyone is buzzing about the fact that Beauty and Prince Sebastian (a.k.a. Synopsis: Things at Fairy Tale Reform School are great. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. I am looking forward to reading Misfits, the next in this series. I would recommend reading these books in order as there is often cliffhangers as there is in this one. This book is another great addition to this series for middle grade readers. There is a lot more magic in this book and not as much figuring out puzzles, but that does not matter in this story. There is also some discussion about trust, which is an issue in everyone’s lives, not just children. There is an undertone about bullying in this story as well as judging people by their appearance, title etc. Will things turn out the way they hoped? Will they rescue Anna and Jack’s family? Will they capture Rumpelstiltskin? All her friends join her in this adventure. When Gilly gets the chance to head up to Cloud City where she is hoping to rescue her sister, she takes up. They have a very similar background and both have family members with Rumpelstiltskin. Jack, another new student also becomes friends with Gilly. Anna, Gilly’s sister is still missing and Gilly is obsessed with finding and rescuing her. Their daughter also comes with them and she and Gilly become friends. Prince Sebastian (aka The Beast) and his wife Beauty are in charge of the library with the help of many fairies.

The books are magical and many are off limits without special permission. In this story, the new library is opened. My Review: This was another wonderful adventure with Gilly and the other students at Fairy Tale Reform School.
