The second magical bookwandering adventure in the nationally bestselling Pages & Co. series, featuring Tilly Pages as she journeys to France to wander inside a peculiar book of fairytales. Perfect for fans of Inkheart and The Land of Stories.
Tilly and her best friend Oskar are bookwanderers: a remarkable group of people who, using the magical power of books, can travel inside any story they choose. But on a wintry visit to Paris, the friends wander inside a book of fairy tales to find that peculiar things are happening: characters are getting lost, stories are all mixed up, and mysterious plot holes are opening without warning . . .
It's up to Tilly and Oskar to figure out what--or who--is behind the chaos. And after the friends come face-to-face with an old foe, they realize that villains can exist outside the pages of books . . . and that sometimes, you don't get to live happily ever after.
Praise for the Pages & Co. series:
"Mr. Lemoncello would love to go bookwandering at Pages and Co. If you love books, you're going to LOVE this book!"--Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Mr. Lemoncello series
*"Highly recommended for readers young and old. An important reminder of the centrality of stories in shaping our lives." --School Library Journal, starred review
"Winsomely harking back to the oldest children's classics, this has special appeal for romantic bibliophiles." --Kirkus Reviews
"This series is made for book-lovers and attests to the power and importance of stories."-School Library Journal
I'm a sucker for books that talk about books - and a book (series) that has people who can literally step into books and interact with the story? Right up my alley. In this one, we learn that fairy tales are more dangerous than standard books, which Tilly and Oskar find out the hard way. The Underlibrary is facing a troubling time, and something is not as it seems with the person leading it. A lot of fun new story, with some classic fairy tale characters that we all know and love (Rapunzel is my fave).
No real cliffhanger per say, but there will definitely be another book coming, as there are far too many unanswered questions. Great middle reader for anyone who just loves a fun story!
