This book was pretty good. I like how in the end Jack turns out to be a spy and is actually a royal but nobody knows it. not even his sister Rapunzel.

Would you send a villain to do a hero's job?
Flunked is an exciting new twisted fairy tale from the award-winning author of the Secrets of My Hollywood Life series. "Charming fairy-tale fun." -Sarah Mlynowski, author of the New York Times bestselling Whatever After series.
Gilly wouldn't call herself wicked, exactly...but when you have five little brothers and sisters and live in a run-down boot, you have to get creative to make ends meet. Gilly's a pretty good thief (if she does say so herself).
Until she gets caught.
Gilly's sentenced to three months at Fairy Tale Reform School where all of the teachers are former (super-scary) villains like the Big Bad Wolf, the Evil Queen, and Cinderella's Wicked Stepmother. Harsh. But when she meets fellow students Jax and Kayla, she learns there's more to this school than its heroic mission. There's a battle brewing and Gilly has to wonder: can a villain really change?
"Fairy Tale Reform School is spellbinding and wickedly clever. Gilly is smart, spunky, and a hilarious narrator, and I cannot wait to read about her next adventure!" -Leslie Margolis, author of the Annabelle Unleashed novels and the Maggie Brooklyn mysteries
"Fairy Tale Reform School is a fresh and funny take on the enchanted world. (And who hasn't always wanted to know what happened to Cinderella's stepmother?)" -Julia DeVillers, author of the Trading Faces identical twin series and Emma Emmets, Playground Matchmaker

This book is actually really funny! I really wanted to see her face in pictures, when she found out the school she was going into was full of fairy tale villains. This book is about a girl, who is a really good thief. She's practically a sneaky, never-caught robber. but then she gets caught, and is sent to this school with scary fairy tail villains!!!!!!
Gilly is a girl who has 5 brothers and sisters who all live in a boot. Gilly is a thief but when she gets caught she gets send to a villain school and she learns some stuff on the way! I LOVE THIS BOOK!
Why write a book about someone who loves to fail? Because that's what the title says! It really isn't like that, but the title is really misleading. An amazing story that will leave you begging for a second book!! BEST BOOK EVER!!
This book is really good. I would rate this book 5 stars out of 5 stars. Flunked reminds me of Ever After High which is my favorite series.
Gilly, who lives with brothers and sisters gets caught stealing, she is taken to Fairy Tale Reform School for three months! Also, that is where all of the teachers are former villains, including some of my favorite villans, Cinderella's stepmother and the big bad wolf.
Flunked was a interesting book. Quick Thinking: Gilly hurtles herself at Proffessor Harlow who was doing a curse saving Jax and the royal court. Family: Gilly refuses to go home because she has to save the school from being ruined and destroyed. Freindship/enemys: The friendship and power between enemys and freinds saved the day. I can't wait to read Charmed.
Ginny isn't wicked, but she does steal. So when she is caught she is sent straight to the Fairy tale Reform where all the teachers are super villains. I loved this book.
Giligan only steals because her family doesn't have enough to eat. Ever since her father's idea for glass slippers is stolen by the royal Ella or Cinderella's godmother. Now she has to lift stuff off of royals so that she and her 5 siblings don't starve. But Giligan gets caught for stealing a dragon tooth comb and has to go to the Fairy Tale Reform School or FTRS where villains become heroes. Some of the teachers are Cinderella's evil stepmother, the wolf that ate Little Red Riding Hood's granny, and the sea witch in Ariel. But things don't seem right at the school. Are the villains reformed or are they just planning everyone's disaster.
I liked this book because it was funny. It was a mixed up fairy tale, and I love that kind of book! It was really good! I recommend this book for all fairy tale lovers-young and old!
