Flunked
Description
Dive into book one of the best selling Fairy Tale Reform School series, from award-winning author Jen Calonita! What happens to the villains after happily ever after? 12 year old Gilly isn't so sure that she needs reforming for the (former) villains in Enchantasia...
Gilly wouldn't call herself wicked, exactly. But when you have five little brothers and sisters and live in a run-down boot, you have to get creative to make ends meet. Gilly's a pretty good thief (if she does say so herself).
Until she gets caught.
Gilly's sentenced to three months at Fairy Tale Reform School where all of the teachers are former (super-scary) villains like the Big Bad Wolf, the Evil Queen, and Cinderella's Wicked Stepmother. Harsh. But when she meets fellow students Jax and Kayla, she learns there's more to this school than its heroic mission.
There's a battle brewing and Gilly has to wonder...just how good these bad guys really are?
The Fairy Tale Reform School series is perfect for:
- Tweens and teens - 12 year old girls and 8th grade readers will love this fun, fast-paced series
- Classrooms studying fractured and twisted fairy tales
- Read-alongs between parents and kids
- Engaging reluctant readers

Reviews
there's much to amuse and entertain fans of classic tales with a twist." - Booklist
"Calonita blithely samples from fairy tales, nursery rhymes, and folklore in this lighthearted first book in the Fairy Tale Reform School series.... Recognizable fairy-tale characters abound (profiles of the school's instructors, like Xavier Wolfington, the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood, appear throughout), and questions of whether goodness or badness run to the core of a person leave readers with plenty to consider." - Publishers Weekly
"Gilly's plucky spirit and determination to oust the culprit will make "Flunked" a popular choice for tweens" - School Library Journal
"A reform school where all the teachers are former villains. Kinda writes itself, right" - SLJ Fuse 8
"Fairy tale fans will love this clever and lively tale of magic, courage, and friendship." - Discovery Girls
