Story
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....

Chapter 21
I love The Land of Stories series; always have, always will. The only thing that kinda bothered me in this book was chapter 21, and the way Chris Colfer pronounces 'roof'. I kid you not, he said it over a dozen times in a matter of literally 5 minutes, it was almost torturous haha. He says it like "ruff", and I just almost couldn't. Otherwise, it was fantastic like always, and I'm a little sad I still have 3 weeks to wait for another credit to listen to the final book in the series.

More less permanently changed my vision
So, I just wanna say that this is definitely the BEST story series I have ever seen. This has definitely changed the way I look at the characters, in school we are currently learning about fairy-tales and she mentioned Goldy Locks and I pictured a tall girl, with jack, a sword strapped to her side, and a menacing look. If you like fairy tales, I suggest you listen to this book. It is the most amazing, wonderful, detailed, and funny stories ever. Warning to younger viewers: the word d@mn is used a few times throughout the series

Great Book Series
Aside from the random cuss word (come on, Chris, these books are for kids), all of the Land of Stories books are awesome. We listen to them when we make the 6 hour drives to see Grandparents (which is often!), and it keep my 5, 12 and 10 year old's attention. As soon as I turn it off, they are asking to turn it back on again. ♡♡♡ High five for an awesome book series that can work for a variety of ages and gender!
