‘Seek happy nights to happy days ... and good ends to good books.’
Tilly and Oskar are back and are heading to Washington to try and stop Decima and Melville Underwood from preventing children from book wandering forever. To do this, they must follow a set of clues which they believe form a map that will help them find the Archivists.
I have absolutely loved the Pages & Co books so was absolutely thrilled to get my hands on the third of the series before its release.
Tilly is a bold and brave character who is fiercely determined to do the right thing - I think she’s amazing and a character so many children will aspire to be like. I have to admit that I am very envious of her book wandering ability (especially in this book and knowing the people she meets!) and would love to have her skills! Tilly is half fictional and this is something the Underwoods are desperately keen to get hold of - they are determined to get their own way but Tilly, Oskar and Tilly’s mum have other ideas. Tilly always gets upset when people treat her as a child and this is reflected in Anna’s writing: there is so much respect for the reader reflected in the writing; she treats her audience as equals, regardless of their age.
With Oskar, Tilly ventures on her most dangerous journey yet which will mean they encounter some of literature’s most famous authors ... with the most wonderful results. From the first book, Anna has created stories that are vivid and full of the most amazing characters - both those she created for this series and those we already know from other books that who pop up.
This book takes the action and suspense up a notch and readers will be completely gripped by the plot and the vivid worlds that Anna creates - I know I was!
