Since her mother’s disappearance, eleven-year-old Tilly has found comfort in stories at Pages & Co., her grandparents’ bookshop. But when her favourite characters, Anne of Green Gables and Alice from Wonderland, appear in the shop, Tilly’s adventures become very real. Not only can she follow Anne and Alice into their thrilling worlds, she discovers she can bookwander into any story she chooses.
Tilly’s new ability could even help her solve the mystery of what happened to her mother all those years ago. But danger may be lurking on the very next page…
Review:
This was one of the most delightfully magical books I have read in a long time. It definitely reminded me of the stories I loved in my childhood by Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl. Tilly was a wonderful main character and wasn't written too old either, Oskar was a delight too and I hope their friendship gets to develop more in the next book. The characters Tilly meets from books are wonderful and, I have to admit, some of my favourites too. It will be interesting to see who appears next as I imagine some more modern characters would cost too much to put them in there. But then I rather like that the book characters are all from classics.

I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars. And I am already anticipating the next one.
