Clever storyline

This story was heartwarming and a delight to listen to with my kids. Fanciful, relatable, and enthralling.

I love this book

It’s very imaginative and fun the perfect book to escape reality. And I love the reader

Family Favorite

Great for road trips and driving to all the after school activities. 2 thumbs up from my 8 year old & he's already listened to it a second time. Can't wait to listen to the next one.

Wonderful

As an adult I had never read a children's book. It was fabulous! So much more than I expected. Filled with heartfelt as well as heart pounding adventure. ❤️

the narrator did a great job at bringing the characters to life.

I loved that I could picture everything in detail and that she did change her voice to suit the characters

Wonderful and Enchanting!

I was hooked by the first chapter. A truly enchanting book about books! I loved every page.

road trip

I love this book. I love how long it is. It’s a perfect road trip book just perfect. I think you should read it. I love that Enoch is fictional I think that bees mother is my favorite.

Fun Middle Grade

A children's book both children and adults will enjoy! Eleven-year-old Tilly lost her mom as a baby, and no one seemingly knows what happened to her. Tilly grew up above her grandparents' bookstore (I'm not jealous or anything!), so she is fairly well-read! What she doesn't know is that she is a part of a secret family line of Bookwonderers! People with the ability to jump into books and live within the pages. Tilly and her best friend soon find themselves book hoping, and quickly realizing that it's not all fun and games. If you lose your book, you could be trapped in the story. If you send yourself into a dangerous scene, you are in very real danger. You (temporarily) write yourself into the story, so the characters interact with you, as you become a part of the story!

Of course, not all is what it seems, and another, dangerous, bookwonderer is following our young explorers!

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.

Captivating! I am looking forward to the rest of the series

Captivating for my daughters and me. The concept of bookwanering let to several great conversations about books we have previously read. I look forward to sharing the series with my daughters.
