Current Reads & Reviews: Battle of the Books

The Book Jumper

Gläser Mechthild. The Book Jumper. Feiwel & Friends/Square Fish, 2018. ISBN: 1541406893 

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. 

Analysis: What a fun adventure story! Jumping into different book’s plots was delightful and so creative. I loved Amy and Will... Feels like there could be an opening to a sequel. Fingers crossed!
