About this listen
THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL will soon be a major motion picture from Netflix—starring Academy Award winner Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Yeoh, Sofia Wylie, Sophie Anne Caruso, Jamie Flatters, Earl Cave, Kit Young, and more!
The New York Times bestselling School for Good and Evil series is an epic journey into a dazzling new world, where the only way out of a fairy tale is to live through one. Start here to follow Sophie, Agatha, and everyone at school from the beginning!
With her glass slippers and devotion to good deeds, Sophie knows she'll earn top marks at the School for Good and join the ranks of past students like Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Snow White. Meanwhile, Agatha, with her shapeless black frocks and wicked black cat, seems a natural fit for the villains in the School for Evil.
The two girls soon find their fortunes reversed—Sophie's dumped in the School for Evil to take Uglification, Death Curses, and Henchmen Training, while Agatha finds herself in the School for Good, thrust among handsome princes and fair maidens for classes in Princess Etiquette and Animal Communication.
But what if the mistake is actually the first clue to discovering who Sophie and Agatha really are?
Don't miss the thrilling conclusion to the beloved series, The School for Good and Evil #6: One True King!

Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect with the older kids at school, but she’s not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret - at least, that’s what she thinks.... But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well...she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth....

It’s two months before Amelia’s big audition for the Mystwick School of Musicraft. If she gets in, she will learn to spin music into powerful magic - but her Gran has one last-ditch plan to persuade her out of it: sports camp. A week of softball, sprinting, and sweaty socks isn't exactly Amelia’s idea of a good time - in fact, she's deeply, appallingly unathletic. By the end of day one, she’s puked her guts out in track, gotten a black eye in no-contact flag football, and firmly established herself as the Least Valuable Player at camp.

In this unique YA anthology, 13 acclaimed, best-selling authors team up with 13 influential BookTubers to reimagine fairy tales from the oft-misunderstood villains' points of view. These fractured, unconventional spins on classics like Medusa, Sherlock Holmes, and 'Jack and the Beanstalk' provide a behind-the-curtain look at villains' acts of vengeance, defiance, and rage - and the pain, heartbreak, and sorrow that spurned them on. No fairy tale will ever seem quite the same again!

The only rule: The tests must offer the subject some slight chance to survive.

For I am Rosalie, one of the adopted daughters of Lady Eville, and it is my duty to enter into a loveless and hate-filled marriage with the narcissistic Crown Prince of Baist.

Great Narrator for a Great Story
What made the experience of listening to The School for Good and Evil the most enjoyable?
I think the narrator, Polly Lee, really sold this story. It was good to begin with, but Polly was able to use distinct voices for each of the characters, conveying their ups and their downs well.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The School for Good and Evil?
I don't want to spoil the whole story but there is a moment where Agatha begins to understand her place in the world and it is fantastic.
What does Polly Lee bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Polly Lee is capable of creating voices, both male and female, and actually making them sound individual. They are not rehashes of other voices. There is a character that speaks with a lisp and Polly Lee captures that perfectly.

Not a casual read
At first I was put off by the story; I just never knew where the story was going. High intensity flood of riffs on fairytales, confusion at every turn. Then I read a couple other similar recent but less robust story series for this age bracket, and when I came back to this again, I had a new appreciation for the complexity. It is almost exhausting trying to keep track of the twists and turns. But what I can't say is that the story was enjoyable. There is however a sense of predictability: we along with the characters and narrator are clueless in identifying good and evil. Seems to be the standard message these days.

Good or evil which is which
Ever wanted to leave the world that you were in ever wanted to have a new chance at a new story well if you ever wanted that you will love this book. Agatha and Sophie one beautiful one who doesn't care about what she looks like the way this goes you'd always thing beauty is always good and ugly is the never good but evil. For the school of good and evil does not see beauty and ugly, it sees exactly what is inside your heart Agatha yes she's beautiful she tries to be sweet she tries to be perfect but there's a darkness that you could never run from. Sophie believes exactly what her mother and everyone else has always told her she is evil she is a witch but when they get put an opposite schools than what they think they should be in they start to see the true them. Tedrow's is The prince everyone wants he is the holder of the Excalibar he is king Arthur son and Guinevere's son. As you would guess he's beautiful gorgeous blue eyes that perfect hair and like most princess has an attitude that you just want to beat out of them. They get tested they get trials they try their best to not fit in because they don't want to be at the schools that they are Agatha tries her best to go to the school of good Sophie just wants to go home they are best friends. The only thing is do you see their friendship lasting through a whole year and two different schools will find out as you read this girly but not always girly fairytale book where fairy tales are the only way out. Or is there another way out.

Fun magical YA read
This was a fun YA adult read perfect for fans of fractured fairy tales and magic strewn worlds. I loved the character development and world building. Highly entertaining. I will definitely continue the series. Narration on the audible was also perfect. Highly recommend it to fans of fairy tales, magic and light YA reads.

Loved It
I’ve been reading this book with my kids, and occasionally we’ll listen to the audio version on the way to school. My kids are 10 and 12, and I love it as much as they do. It’s not too adult for them, but not too childish for me either. The story is quite enjoyable, and the narration is fantastic. Def recommend for all ages.
