Publisher's summary

Amy Lennox doesn't know quite what to expect when she and her mother pick up and leave Germany for Scotland, heading to her mother's childhood home of Lennox House on the island of Stormsay.

Amy's grandmother, Lady Mairead, insists that Amy must read while she resides at Lennox House - but not in the usual way. It turns out that Amy is a book jumper, able to leap into a story and interact with the world inside. As thrilling as Amy's new power is, it also brings danger: someone is stealing from the books she visits, and that person may be after her life. Teaming up with fellow book jumper, Will, Amy vows to get to the bottom of the thefts - at whatever cost.

I enjoyed it

Creative idea. Not what I was expecting when I embarked on the reading journey. But I enjoyed the story. The author eloquently worded a magically story referencing classical novels.

What a wonderful story!

This was such a delightful story to read. I’ve even told my daughter she should read it. Love the thought of jumping into books. The characters were cute and just the whole mystery of what was happening was fun to follow :)

Imaginative

This is a very different story in a good way. Definitely an original idea. A fairytale for young readers but the themes are a little too mature for children. Some of the storylines are left unresolved. The ending was happy, I guess, but not what I hoped for. Mary Sarah is a favorite narrator and she does a fantastic job in the telling of this story. Imagery is rich. Mysteries galore. Some maudlin elements and definitely evil but goodness shines through.

A Fun Adventure

I listened to this book twice in a row, bought the hard cover addition and recommended it to all my book lover friends. There was just a magic about it that I loved.
The narrator is fantastic.

beautifully done

I'm writing this as I sit here bawling over this book having just finished it. I have enjoyed every second of this book. If the summary sounds good to you, just read it! So worth it.

Opinion

I loved this book so much! I highly suggest that everyone read this book! My favorite part was Wills death then coming back to life in Neverland by Tinkerbell! I wish this book was a series! 10/10 stars!
