I think that Anna James’ writing is utterly wonderful and she absolutely captures the joy of becoming lost in a book, I highly recommend Tilly and the Bookwanderers to all confident readers, young and old, and encourage adults to read it aloud as a class reader or bedtime story to anyone of 9+. For anyone immersed in the world of children’s literature this is a must-read haven’t we all dreamt of being able to enter the world of our favourite books and speak to the characters who formed our early love of literature? I am prompted to celebrate the first of the Pages & Co adventures by Anna James this week as I am overjoyed to have been approved for an eARC of the third book in the series, Tilly and the Map of Stories. This book in three words: Books – Fantasy – Adventure It sets up the themes of this fantastic bookish adventure perfectly. I just love the way that this quote encapsulates one of the joys of reading as well as referencing three of my favourite books published for children.
