Stories are things to be loved and respected at the same time never underestimate the power of them. "Books can change minds and change worlds, open doors and open minds, plant seeds that can grow into magical or even terrifying things. I am looking forward to more adventures in the future! I loved their journeys and them finding out about book wandering. Tilly turns out to be a great protagonist and I like her as a character, as well as her friend Oskar.
The borrowed characters of Alice and Anne felt very genuine, so Anna James really got this characters right. There were a few odes to storytelling and classic children's literature that made this such a heart-warming read and the perfect start to a new series. I enjoyed reading this book so much, it was fun and had such great imagination behind it. At the same time, a man seems to be following her into the books, and she wonders if there's any connection between book wandering and her mother's disappearance. But there are rules to being a book wanderer and things can become very dangerous if she finds herself at the end of one of their stories. Not only can they visit her, but she can visit them by entering their books and traversing their worlds. Tilly seems to have a special ability awakened when two of her all-time favourite fictional characters visit her at her grandparents' book shop - Alice from Alice in Wonderland, and Anne of Anne of Green Gables. It also shows love to your family and friendships.īooks can change minds and change worlds, open doors and open minds, and plant seeds that can grow into magical or even terrifying things. The book shows the power of reading (and a little extra through the magic of book wandering!). It was great to see all these characters come alive and the author, Anna James, does a brilliant job at portraying how those characters would speak and act if another person was suddenly part of their story. This book shows a girl who has a love of books (which is enough on the first basis to draw me in). Through learning about bookwandering and her Grandparents experiences with it, will Tilly be able to find out what truly happened to her mother all those years ago ? and she is not the only one in her family to do this. This is through the magic of bookwandering that Tilly holds. One day Tilly’s favourite book characters appear in the shop and discovers that she can not only converse with them, but can also travel into their worlds. Tilly’s favourite books, especially, are Alices Adventures in Wonderland and Anne if Green Gables.
She has lived in the bookshop ever since her mother suddenly disappeared with no idea as to where she went or why. This book features 11 year old Tilly, who lives with her Grandparents in their bookshop called Pages & Co. This was so cute !! A delightful novel for book lovers. The books we love when we’re growing up shape us in a special way.
