Land of Stories is about a twin brother and sister who find out that the fairy tale world is real when they get transported into it via their grandmother's book of traditional tales. There they find out that one of the most feared villains of the world -the Evil Queen- has escaped from prison. They also find that there is only one spell that can take them home. They discover a journal written by the only other person that has succeeded in using the wishing spell. The unknown journal has tips on how to obtain the items that are needed to use the wishing spell. Along the way they discover that the wishing spell can only be used once more and someone else is trying to use it! On this trip they learn who their father and grandmother really are. I like this book because Colfer really explains what is happening in rich detail. He really paints a picture of the setting into your mind, as well as tells the story in a way that you feel like you're inside it.
