Amanda Zieba Learning with the Word Nerd | Come Read Chapter 1 of The School for Good and Evil @AmandaZiebatheWordNerd | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Friday, June 2, 2023 - Each week, the word nerd, Amanda Zieba, reads aloud the first chapter of an amazing middle grade or YA book on this channel! This week she’ll be sharing chapter one from the New York Times bestselling book: The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani. If you are looking for your next fantasy series, you are in luck! Also know that the first book in the series has also been made into a Netflix movie. But the goodness doesn’t stop there! Throughout this video there’s a mystery quote sprinkled one word at a time. As you listen, write it down and then stay to the end to see if you’ve got it down correctly.
Book Blurb: With her glass slippers and devotion to good deeds, Sophie knows she'll earn top marks at the School for Good and join the ranks of past students like Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Snow White. Meanwhile, Agatha, with her shapeless black frocks and wicked black cat, seems a natural fit for the villains in the School for Evil. The two girls soon find their fortunes reversed—Sophie's dumped in the School for Evil to take Uglification, Death Curses, and Henchmen Training, while Agatha finds herself in the School for Good, thrust among handsome princes and fair maidens for classes in Princess Etiquette and Animal Communication. But what if the mistake is actually the first clue to discovering who Sophie and Agatha really are?
The New York Times bestselling School for Good and Evil series is an epic journey into a dazzling new world, where the only way out of a fairy tale is to live through one. Start here to follow Sophie, Agatha, and everyone at school from the beginning!
