The Enchantress Returns

               The book The Enchantress Returns by Chris Colfer is the second book in the Land of Stories series. It was about two twins, Alex and Connor, who lived in a small house with their mom, Charlotte, but could get into the world of fairytales. At the beginning of this book, the twins found out their mom, Charlotte, was in love with someone she worked with, named Bob, and that he wanted to propose to her. He came over to their house and bought them dinner to surprise Charlotte when she got home from work. That was the night he was going to propose to her, but she didn't come home. Many hours later, the twins grandma came to their house from the fairytale world. She told them that Charlotte had been kidnapped, but she didn't tell them where. She also brought many people from the fairy tale world with her to protect the twins' house, but they didn't know why. Their grandma left without giving them enough information. It was diving them crazy, to not know what was going on, so they snuck out of their house and went to the fairytale world themselves. When they got there, they met up with their friends from the last time they were there, Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks, Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk and Prince Charlie who was under a curse that made him look like a frog. They told the twins what was going on in the fairytale world. They told them that the Enchantress was trying to take it over and that nobody could stop her. Luckily Connor had an idea. He had found out about a wand that could make anyone invincible. The wand had to be built out of the six most prized possessions of the six most hated people in the fairytale world. They took the Evil Queen's magic mirror, the Sea Witch's jewels, the Snow Queen's ice scepter, Cinderella's stepmother's ring and the harp from the giant from Jack and the Beanstalk. The wand would be finished once they took the Enchantress's most prized possession, which was her pride. The problem was, right before they had a chance to talk to her, the Enchantress imprisoned everyone in vines except for Alex. Alex did end up defeating the Enchantress in the end and she and Connor became heros in the fairytale world. Charlotte had been imprisoined by the Enchantress the entire time and had been saved when the Enchantress was defeated. Finally, Bob proposed to her in the fairytale world and they had their wedding there.
