Book Review | The School of Good and Evil by Soman Chainani



Today I am going to review the book that I read for my monthly goal. I set myself the goal of reading The School of Good and Evil by Soman Chainani in one month. This was a challenge for me as it is one of the longest books I have read. 




The Blurb


A dark and enchanting fantasy adventure perfect for those who prefer their fairytales with a twist… The first in the bestselling School for Good and Evil series.


Every four years, two girls are kidnapped from the village of Gavaldon. Legend has it these lost children are sent to the School for Good and Evil, the fabled institution where they become fairytale heroes or villains.


With her glass slippers and devotion to good deeds, Sophie knows she'll join the ranks of past students like Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Snow White at the School for Good. Meanwhile, Agatha, with her shapeless black dresses and wicked black cat, seems a natural fit for the villains in the School for Evil.


But 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?




My Review



My favourite character was Agatha because of the way she changes during the book. She changes from witch to princess. Agatha was called the witch but she changed into the princess and Sophie her best friend was the princess then she turned into the witch. 



My favourite chapters were 26 to 30 because the story goes up and down and the characters change so much and the story goes every where, I loved it. I enjoyed the setup of the story, I won't spoil it for you, but if you haven't read it, it is amazing.



I have just started reading the second book and its good. I am excited to read the rest of the book.

Pollution in our Oceans

Right now pollution is in our oceans, which is not good if we don’t stop now our oceans will be a waste bin for plastic. So here are 5 things the plastic is doing to our oceans. 1. is making our beaches look like trash The beach is a nice place family and friends can go to. Unforceitly the plastic washes up on the sand making it not as nice as we would wish. 2. marine animals dying These poor creatures are being killed because of pollution. The reason they are dying is because they ever eat the plastic or get stuck in it which is the reason they die. 3. marine wildlife home being taken over by plastic Would you like your home to be covered in old plastic? We certainly wouldn’t but the same goes for the marine wildlife they don’t like their home being destroyed by plastic. 4. there is 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic in our oceans This is a handy thing to know because that is a lot of plastic in our oceans but that ocean doesn’t only belong to marine wildlife it belongs to us as well and

Did you know that the milky way isn't just a bar of chocolate? It is a galaxy in our Universe, here are some cool facts about the Milky Way. There are over 200 billion stars in the Milky Way. The Milky Way is only a medium sized galaxy with an estimated 200 billion stars. The largest galaxy we know of is called IC 1101 and has over 100 trillion stars. The Milky Way is also really dusty and gassy. About 10-15% of the Milky Way’s visible matter is made of dust and gas, with the rest being stars. On a clear night, the dusty ring of the Milky Way can be seen in the night sky. The Milky Way was made of over galaxies  In order for the Milky Way to achieve its current size and shape it has consumed other galaxies throughout its history. Our galaxy is currently consuming the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy by adding the smaller galaxy’s stars to its own spiral. The Milky Way is almost as old as the universe itself.Scientists estimate that the Universe is about 13.7 billion years old and that the

Day 13 | A day off

Hello, Today we had a day off from home-school. This was because our Mum was having a bad day health wise and needed to be able to rest, and Daddy was really busy. THEO: I have played on the computer ALL DAY!!! It was really cool as I have a sword to level up in Minecraft and so it was nice to be able to just do that. ELLA:  I decided to do some colouring, and have spent some time reading my book. Finishing the book was the monthly goal I set myself, so I'm trying to read a chapter a day. I also watched a bit of Sonic on TV with Henry. HENRY (as told to Ella & Theo): I played with my toys, I like my Incredibles toys and L.O.L boys. I dressed up as Elsa and sang lots. I watched Sonic on TV. I made the Bolognaise for tea with Daddy. It felt nice to have a day off on a Thursday but it was a little weird too! Not doing any work felt strange but Mum said we would have learnt stuff without knowing it. We're not really sure what she means but she seems happy.
