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!

This was so fun. It was a reread for me, but the first time on audio. I throughly enjoyed the narration, and she added all the feeling into Tilly’s voice that I wanted from the print version. I love the idea of Bookwandering and I feel like it will more and more explored as the series goes on. I’m definitely looking forward to the second one!
