Review :
A magical debut.-- "Family Circle"
Captivating-- "Teen Vogue"
It will hit big with its combination of earnestness and playful poise.-- "The New York Times Book Review"
There's more in Colfer's magic kingdoms than Disney has dreamt of.-- "USA Today"
In The Land of Stories, Colfer showcases his talent for crafting fancifully imaginative plots and multidimensional characters.-- "Los Angeles Times"
It's hard not to love a book dedicated to the Glee star's grandmother...Colfer gets off many good lines [and] the nifty ending ties the plot's multiple strands up while leaving room for further fairy tale adventures.-- "Publishers Weekly"
"Colfer--an actor most famous for playing a countertenor teenager on Glee--is a wizard at voices. In 'Henny Penny, ' he gives distinct, birdlike cadences to a duck, a goose, hen, rooster, and a turkey. His yawn from 'Goldilocks' was convincing enough to make me yawn in the driver's seat."
-- "New York Times Book Review"
