The School for Good and Evil: The Ever Never Handbook by Soman Chainani
4.0
Of course, this is actually not a real book, but I had a busy day today and I needed something light and quick and easy and funny and after reading the first four books in this series, I was quite certain that this book would be exactly what I needed today.
And I was absolutely right. This book is exactly what it says it is: It’s a guide for a first year student on what to expect from the school for good and evil and it’s hilarious at times and quite insightful too. Not only do the characters get the chance to display their funny side in letters, notes, remarks and even cartoons, but the illustrations help to bring this fantasy world to life.
More than once I’ve been laughing out loud, mostly because Sophie’s additions to this book are a times truly ridiculous, but also because Hester’s notes seem way more informative and helpful and Hort’s cartoons were just downright amazing. And I also loved all the nods and winks to the old and well known fairytales we all grew up with.
If only there was truly a school for good and evil. I’d surely apply to become the next princess and queen of some kingdom and I’m sure I’d find a nice prince to share this adventure with! (And a couple of amazing friends and animal companions!)
