Books for Children: The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell by Chris Colfer

Did you know Chris Colfer? Mr. Colfer is that young man on the TV series ‘Glee‘ who can sing like it’s nobody’s business!!! Of course, if you were a loyal viewer of that show you might say ‘Well all the young men on that show can sing good.” But I would counter that with: NOT LIKE HIM!!

That is sort of my introduction to who the author is of this popular book. I just couldn’t help thinking: ‘Not only does this guy have an amazing singing voice but he’s also a good writer?’ Cool beans! This book is not a recent release. The publication date is July 17, 2012, and it is for ages 8 and up. It made the New York Times Best Seller list. Even though it was published in 2012, it is 2020 and libraries still recommend it as #BookOfTheDay. My reasons for suggesting this book are: I like children’s books, and I particularly like fantasy and fairy tales. This is a book series and The Wishing Spell is the first book in the series.
