Chris Colfer just announced his brand new book series and we are so excited to read it!
Titled “A Tale of Magic”, the new novel series will be in the same vein of of “Land of Stories”.
The first book will center on Brystal Evergreen, a young girl destined for greatness, but forced to survive the oppressive Southern Kingdom. Her only escape is books, but it’s illegal for women to read in her country, and working as a maid at the local library is the only way to access them.
She eventually finds a book about magic that changes her life forever — and discovers she herself is capable of magic. The only problem: Magic is despised and outlawed, and Brystal is convicted for her crimes.
“I wanted to write a book that, not only takes my young readers on a whimsical adventure, but also helps them cope with our challenging and ever-changing reality,” Chris shared with EW in a new interview. “But most importantly, I wanted to tell a story that teaches children to ‘never surrender your joy or your ambition to the times you live in.’â€
Guests were well-fed at the event thanks to Carl’s Jr. The menu included the Famous Star burger, crisscut fries, and fried zucchini. The food truck had a line the entire night!

Chris Colfer suits up for opening night of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child held at the Lyric Theatre in New York City on Sunday night (April 22).
Not many remember that it was Harry Potter that inspired him to write his “Land of Stories” novel series!
While speaking with CBC last year, Chris revealed that not only was he inspired by the books, but also stood in line for each of them as a kid.
“A lot of authors who are in this position where they’re able to talk about works that inspire them, they whip out like Tolstoy and maybe some more impressive titles, but it ["Harry Potter"] was [mine],” he shared.
Chris added, “It captured my attention in a way that had never been captured when I was a kid and the reason I learned how to read.”
The actors were joined by choreographer Zachary Woodlee, script coordinator Aristotle Kousakis, and writers Matt Hodgson and Michael Hitchcock, as well as Matthew’s wife Renee Puente and their 4-month old son, Revel.
