First Pages: The School for Good and Evil

Excerpt from The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani

Thoughts on The School for Good and Evil First Lines:  Okay, what?  Somehow I've never picked up these books and actually looked inside even though Mini Me loves this series.  Now that I see how it starts out, I can see why. Immediately I have SO many questions--the first of which is WHY does Sophie want to be kidnapped?!  Intrigue, check.  Mystery, check.  Page-turner, check.  Add in the fact that this is a fantasy book with female main characters and I'm sold. 

I also like the cover illustration and the illustrations within.  Why does this house look like it's built on gravestones?  So many questions that I NEED to have answered. 

An early photo I took when I first started the blog of the second book in The School for Good and Evil series by Soman Chainani.

Tell Dr. Bookworm!

What is your favorite novel from when  you were a kid with a female protagonist?  Let me know in the comments.  If I have to answer without really thinking about it, I'd say that I loved the Little House series when I was growing up.
