This book talk reveals another play off of familiar fairy tales and Disney movies that we have come to love. You find classic characters like the Big Bad Wolf, the Evil Queen, and Cinderella's Wicked Stepmother, but these villains are now teachers at FTRS - Fairy Tale Reform School. They have turned from their evil ways and now look to help the rebellious youth find the straight and narrow.
And that is where we meet our main character, Gilly. Gilly lives a life of pickpocketing from the Royals after her father's show business begins to falter. She is eventually caught and sent to FTRS. It doesn't take long for her to realize that something at this school is amiss. She builds relationships with some other characters - her roommate that never seems to be around, Jax, who is always trying to escape and cares for no one but himself, and Jocelyn, who is out to make everyone's life miserable.
Gilly learns that not everyone is who they appear, and there is an evil growing but are the students involved, are the teachers plotting, will the Royals be able to help, or are they too late.
"There's a battle brewing, and Gilly has to wonder just how good these bad guys are."
