Together, these five paperbacks deliver humor, heart, and imagination for young readers who love fairy tales reimagined with courage and wit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis set bridges two fan-favorite strands of Chris Colfer's fantasy writing. The A Tale of Magic trilogy follows Brystal Evergreen, a young woman living under the Southern Kingdom's harsh laws forbidding women from reading or practicing magic. When Brystal discovers real magical ability, she is whisked to a hidden academy where she must master her powers while confronting prejudice and corrupt systems trying to silence her. Her journey widens from a single classroom to a kingdom-spanning fight for justice. Alongside the trilogy are two shorter, illustrated companion volumes from the wider Land of Stories universe: The Mother Goose Diaries, imagining the private journal of the fairy-tale world's most famous storyteller, and Queen Red Riding Hood's Guide to Royalty, a tongue-in-cheek etiquette manual from a once-mischievous heroine turned monarch. Both lean into sly humor and nostalgia, ideal as lighter reads between the trilogy's adventurous installments. As a whole, the collection showcases Colfer's clever storytelling and inventive world-building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA complete fantasy trilogy plus two fun companion reads in one set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures fearless heroine Brystal Evergreen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlends humor, adventure, and themes of courage and acceptance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrated companions add variety between novels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for middle-grade readers and family read-aloud time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA thoughtful gift for young fantasy fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA Tale of Magic... — Brystal Evergreen discovers forbidden magic and is swept into a hidden academy that changes her fate.\u003cbr\u003e\nA Tale of Witchcraft... — Brystal's training deepens as new allies and dangers test her growing powers.\u003cbr\u003e\nA Tale of Sorcery... — Brystal's fight widens into a kingdom-spanning battle against old prejudices.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Land of Stories: The Mother Goose Diaries — A playful diary imagining the private thoughts of the fairy-tale world's famous storyteller.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Land of Stories: Queen Red Riding Hood's Guide to Royalty — A witty etiquette guide narrated by a once-mischievous heroine now navigating royal life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nChris Colfer is an American actor and author best known for creating The Land of Stories series and the A Tale of Magic trilogy.
