The woman is telling a story to Elsie and mentioned ‘Charlotte’. Her grandma is laughing too much that she’s crying. When we meet the first book character Tilly can see, she overhears her grandma talking to a woman with ‘dark, curly hair pinned up on the back of her head’ and wearing a ‘long, old-fashioned-looking dress’. She did her research, planned the plot and concept out very well, there was backstory and world building… it was just amazing! Anna James, the author, knew exactly what she wanted to achieve. It had a really great plot and it worked so well. Pages & Co.: Tilly and the Bookwanderers, however, did it brilliantly. To know more about my thoughts on this you can read my detailed review here: Between the Lines Why only this one book and why only these two characters? The initial concept was so interesting and had so much potential, but the author decided to put more focus on a relationship rather than this amazing concept, and maybe, it’s companion novel has more of what I’m looking for. Instead of jumping into books and jumping out, there was only one character that the main character of Between the Lines could talk to. I’ve read a similar book a few years ago called Between the Lines and it’s concept was a slightly different and executed very poorly, unfortunately. Who doesn’t love books about books and reading and their favourite book characters coming to live? Oh, my, goodness! I absolutely LOVED this book! As soon as I saw it in a YouTube video and heard what the book was about from the very author Anna James, I knew I had to get my hands on it. This is a long and detailed review as I have a lot to say and need to explain the book in order to speak my thoughts. And who is this mysterious Enoch Chalk that keeps following Tilly into books and what does he want from her? Tilly and with the help of a friend named Oskar, embark on the page-jumping adventure to find out what really happen to Tilly’s mother all those years ago and learn all the rules of Bookwandering on the way. This is called Bookwandering and it seems like her grandparents knew more than what they were letting on. She has the power to jump into the middle of any book she has a connection with go along with the story and its characters. Tilly learns, later on, that she can wander into books.
Tilly doesn’t know what to think and her grandparents aren’t much help in the beginning. She finds her grandmother talking to a mysterious woman by the name of Lizzy who then suddenly disappears… And then a little while later, Tilly meets Anne from Anne of Green Gables and Alice from Wonderland, too. Like her grandparents, Elsie and Archie Pages, Tilly loves stories, and one day, Tilly starts to see things.
in North London and has lived there ever since her mother disappeared just after she was born. Eleven year-old Matilda ‘Tilly’ Pages lives above her grandparents’ bookshop, Pages and Co.
