|rating=4.5

|summary=The last [[The Land of Stories: A Grimm Warning by Chris Colfer|Land of Stories]] book left readers on a cliffhanger with a shock revelation about the identity of the antagonist, the villainous 'Masked Man'.

|summary= I'm sure Dennis the Menace has a hate-hate relationship with school, but the nature of it is relevant when considering these books. The fact he goes at all is the cause for them in the first place – he [[The Diary of Dennis the Menace by Steven Butler|originally]] was tasked with writing a journal as homework, and turned it into a menacing manual for us, his readers.
