THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL READING PLAYLIST BY SOMAN CHAINANI
One of my goals in writing The School for Good and Evil was to give the book new energy from chapter to chapter, so you never feel like youre in the same place twice. For each of the 30 chapters, Id pick a book (sometimes a piece of music or an article) that I remembered loving as a child or adolescent and obsessively reread it until I put the chapter to bed. None of the books had explicit links to The School for Good and Evil -- in fact, most of them arent even fantasy. But in the end, I realized I had a playlist to my own imagination, at once light and dark, good and evil.

FROM BOOKLIST
With overtones of Wicked, and shaped by the world of fairy tales, comes this story of two girls plucked from their village to attend the School for Good and Evil. Pretty (on the outside) Sophie has been hoping for the schoolmaster to take her to a place where shell become the princess she always imagined herself to be. Homely loner Agatha is the other chosen girl, someone Sophie befriended in an effort to show off her "goodness." But their arrival at school leads to a shock, with Agatha placed with the Evers (as in happily ever after) and a distraught Sophie stuck with the creepy Nevers. So begins a tale that sees both girls fighting their fates - and at times each other - as they search for an ending that will encompass all that they are and what theyve learned during their Grimm adventures. The terrific cover will draw readers in, the premise is a winner, and both Sophie and Agatha are strong characters. However, this is sometimes overwritten and repetitive, dragging the narrative down in places. But those who like their fantasy laced with fairy tale will surely enjoy it. Grades 6-8. --Ilene Cooper REVIEW

But in The School for Good and Evil its not always certain which is which." (David Magee, screenwriter of Life of Pi and Finding Neverland)
