Great

Entertaining with no ugly parts. Engaging for an adult, but gentle enough for kids who are easily scared. The narrator had a lovely cadence.

Fun and Fantasy!!!!!

Wonderful story!! Anna James has really outdone herself!!! The narrator is very good!! My only concern is this book might be scary for younger readers. My recommended age is 8+. I'm 9 and love this book!

Book Lover's Dream

Anna James has put into words the feelings and the heart of reading books. I bought this book for my 9 year old sister, but I finished it first after staying up past midnight to find out the ending! This is a daring adventure into the soul of literature and why reading and stories are so important. If only book wandering was real!

Absolutely Amazing Must Read!!!!!!!!

I love this book its one of my new favorites. I think the characters are entertaining and exciting and i really relate to Tully. I especially love how they described what is feels like to love books. They put my feelings to words and I loved hearing them. The narrator was great I always love a good English actor, such a charming accent. I've already downloaded the sequel.

Laurie S.

Ive never read anything by this author and thought id try this book. Really enjoyed the story line. Tilly lives with her grandparents in London who own a bookstore called Pages and Co. When she sees her grandparents having conversations with characters out of books she decides she has to see if she can travel through books also.

Drawn Out Terrible Story

This book was long, boring and painful to read. Avoid at all costs. The plot was slow, obvious, and plodding. I can't imagine why it was chosen as an Oregon Battle of the Books title. My children and I hated every second of it.
