Changes

When both girls are taken, Agatha is surprised to find out that everything they've read in their story books is true. But her biggest surprise is when Agatha is deposited outside the gates of Good, leaving Sophie at the school for Evil.

There was lots I liked about it - the concept is great, the eternal battle of Good and Evil, along with plenty of exploration of what makes Good and Evil, at times getting quite philosophical for a Middle Grade book. There were good characters, particularly Sophie and Agatha, though some of the background characters were just as colourful. The illustrations peppered throughout were fabulously gothic and characterful, adeptly bringing little bits of the universe to life.
