Upset at being separated and sorted into the “wrong” schools, Sophie and Agatha have to navigate the toxic personalities of the students around them, their unsympathetic respective school mistresses – Lady Lesso (Charlize Theron) of the Nevers and Prof. Soon, the two are deposited in their assigned schools: Sophie in the “Nevers” side which caters to evil and Agatha in the “Evers” side which cultivates the most worthy students towards earning their heroic stories. Scooped up by a frightening skeletal bird known as a stymph, Agatha gets dragged along too when she tries to save Sophie from its clutches. Desperate to be one of those worthy “readers,” Sophie makes a wish to be recruited and her wish is granted. But that all changes when Sophie gets wind of The School for Good and Evil, a venerable and secret institute which trains the next generation of fairy tale heroes and villains, and sometimes recruits worthy outsiders to join their ranks.
Agatha (Sofia Wylie) is her hot mess best friend who doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her and is relatively content just spending time with Sophie and lurking outside the attention of their nasty neighbors who hate them both. Fair-haired Sophie (Sophia Anne Caruso) is the Cinderella-esque dreamer who loves designing clothes and desperately wishes for something greater outside of her simple life.
Chainani’s first book and the movie both serve as the origin story of two teen best friends from the fictional, rural village of Gavaldon.
