Villain School: Good Curses Evil

By Stephanie S. Sanders

Book Description

Their parents are famous villains, but they just want to be good

Rune Drexler, Big Bad Wolf Jr., and Countess Jezebel Dracula are students at Master Dreadthorn's School for Wayward Villains. It's like military school for the children of famous villains; it's where you learn to be bad. But Rune is failing at his villainous studies, so when he lands himself in detention (again), Master Dreadthorn assigns him a Plot. In one week, Rune and his friends must find a henchman, steal a baby, kidnap a princess, and overthrow a kingdom. There's only one problem: Rune's not very evil. In fact, his behavior seems suspiciously heroic. . . .

This hilarious adventure stretches across a fairy tale world where the mistakes of famous villains become valuable lessons for our heroes-er, villains. The mix of familiar characters and a wholly original Plot will delight young readers.


“Amusing fare for readers.” —Kirkus Reviews

“The fast-paced action and snappy dialogue will appeal to reluctant readers and those looking for a light, humorous read.”―School Library Journal
