Pages & Co seems like such a magical, joyful bookshop and I could easily imagine Tilly cwtched up in a corner somewhere with her favourite novels. I thought the settings of this book were particularly special. I’m hoping there will be many more of these adventures so we can learn more about Tilly and Oskar’s lives, families and bookwandering! I loved that Tilly took Oskar under her wing a little bit and it was just lovely to see him almost become part of her family.
Tilly and Oskar have such a wonderful, pure interest and I loved seeing how their friendship developed throughout the book. As an adult now I’d love to be able to bookwander but this book will surely inspire a whole new generation of young readers as they ponder whether or not they themselves can become bookwanderers like Tilly. I loved seeing appearances from well known and beloved characters such as Alice and Anne and I thought that Anna James captured their voices perfectly. Tilly enters the world of bookwandering and discovers the Underlibrary and a whole host of book loving people. I adored the plot of this story which is all so cleverly woven together. Add on top of that the mysterious appearance of a gentleman visiting her grandfather, fictional characters popping up in the book shop and it’s not long until Tilly discovers that she is a bookwanderer and gets a step closer to finding out more about her whole family. Mystery surrounds Tilly’s life as neither Tilly or her grandparents know why her mother disappeared or where she went. She is a bookworm through and through and I know that younger Kelly would 100% have wanted Tilly to be her best friend. Tilly lives with her grandparents in their bookshop Pages & Co. The only regret you’ll have is if you don’t pick up this book! Let me assure you now, Tilly’s adventures are absolutely magical and totally captivating. Not only is Anna a huge presence in the bookish community, but her debut novel sounded exactly like the kind of book I would have adored reading as a young reader. Without a doubt, Anna James’ debut novel Tilly and the Bookwanderers (Pages & Co) had been on my list of most highly anticipated releases ALL year. Tilly is determined to solve the mystery of what happened to her mother all those years ago, so she bravely steps into the unknown, unsure of what adventure lies ahead and what dangers she may face. With the help of Anne of Green Gables and Alice in Wonderland. One day Tilly realises that classic children’s characters are appearing in the shop through the magic of `book wandering’ – crossing over from the page into real life. Like the rest of her family, Tilly loves nothing more than to escape into the pages of her favourite stories.
