Synopsis
The School for Good and Evil opens in the village of Gavaldon, where every four years two children vanish overnight, taken, according to local legend, to a hidden school deep in the Endless Woods that trains the heroes and villains of the world's fairy tales. Sophie, who is certain she is destined to become a beautiful princess and live out her own Happily Ever After, is taken along with her odd best friend Agatha, a girl the villagers regard as something close to a witch. When the pair arrive at the school, their expected fates are reversed: the outwardly perfect Sophie is placed in the School for Evil while the plain, reluctant Agatha is enrolled in the School for Good.
