Young World by Soman Chainani
"4.5 Stars

This book was TOO MUCH (usually in the best, and very teen, way). I have been listening to Plot Twist - Soman Chianani's podcast with Victoria Aveyard - for the past few months, which spiked my interest in this book. I knew from listening th" Read more of this review »

"How does one craft a book that can thrill a young audience that has been fed a steady diet of screens and social media? Soman Chainani has experimented and delivered. Great writers of 100 years ago, like Tolkien and Lewis, wrote for the youth fantast" Read more of this review »

"Phenomenal writing, and storyline, the art scattered through is surprising and really puts you in the world. So amazing for teenagers who feel politically helpless, or adults like my dad who just want a GREAT read. "

Quotes by Soman Chainani  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“She had always found villains more exciting than heroes. They had ambition, passion. They made the stories happen. Villains didn't fear death. No, they wrapped themselves in death like suits of armor! As she inhaled the school's graveyard smell, Agatha felt her blood rush. For like all villains, death didn't scare her. It made her feel alive.”
Soman Chainani, The School for Good and Evil

“In the forest of primeval
A school for Good and Evil
Twin towers like two heads
One for the pure
And one for the wicked
Try to escape you'll always fail,
The only way out is
Through a fairytale.”
Soman Chainani, The School for Good and Evil

“Only once you destroy who you think you are can you embrace who you truly are.”
Soman Chainani, The School for Good and Evil
