This is the first book in a series of Pages and Co. novels written by Anna James. The Bookwanders explains it all. There is something special about reading a good book. It is like you fall into the pages of the story and can get lost in the plot and become friends with the characters. These days it is a wonderful way to escape from the reality of your living room or bedroom and felling like you have traveled somewhere else.
That is exactly what this book explores. What would happen if this were not just your imagination that carries you away but you really could leave where you physically are and travel into the book you are reading. Tilly Pages lives with her grandfather and grandmother following the disappearance of her mother when she was a baby, in the bookstore they run. Now at the grand old age of ten, she is a lonely child who finds comfort in the books she loves. Her favorite characters are Anne of Green Gables and Alice in Wonderland.
One day those characters come alive and visit her in the bookstore. She then begins to notice some other interesting visitors her grandparents are entertaining and when she and her new friend Oskar are pulled into the book in Green Gables with Anne they begin to learn what is the secret of the Pages bookstore and book traveling.
Fun for kids who love books and even an adult who loves to read and imagine this could happen to them.
