A magical adventure to delight the imagination. A curl-up-on-the-sofa snuggle of a debut from a uniquely talented author. Eleven year-old Tilly has lived above her grandparents’ bookshop ever since her mother disappeared shortly after she was born.

One day Tilly realises that classic children’s characters are appearing in the shop through the magic of ‘book walking’ – crossing over from the page into real life.

Bookish from the tip of its head to the nail of its toe. A delight! Not just a children's book. Great writing. Amazing atmosphere. Strong plot and a wonderful first book of a potentially amazing series.

I just loved it! I don't know how to embrace it further. The first audiobook that I've leaped, enjoying thoroughly- a middle-grade book is always best to begin. relatable to all the book lovers who always desired to wander in extraordinary stories. How Wonderful imaginary visuals the author has inscribed, conveying as it is real by a beautiful voice, a narrator. I adore her skillful voice so much that she put my curious mind awake until I finished- Aysha Kala if you are reading my feedback know this I like you. I would recommend this book for all ages especially kids, middle-grade students, and teens as well, for grown-ups the exception is you must have a child alive in you.💓🙌
