Rise of the School for Good and Evil

　　Standalone and completely un-reliant on the events of the original New York Times bestselling School for Good and Evil series, in Rise of the School for Good and Evil, we go back in time to the early days of Evers and Nevers, the rift between School Masters to the arrival of the first Readers from an ordinary town called Gavaldon—all told through the adventures of its most legendary students from fairytale lore.

　　Soman Chainani is the New York Times bestselling author of the School for Good and Evil series. The fairy-tale saga has sold over 3 million copies, been translated into 30 languages, and will soon be a major motion picture from Netflix, which Soman will executive produce. His most recent book, Beasts and Beauty: Dangerous Tales, was also an instant New York Times bestseller.

　　Soman is a graduate of Harvard University and received his MFA in film from Columbia University. Every year, he visits schools around the world to speak to kids and share his secret: that reading is the path to a better life.
