Even tho I had spoiled myself for the surprise in this book, I still really enjoyed it! It’s bitter sweet to move onto the finale of this amazing series. 🥹💜

The 5th installment of the Pages and Co. series, is good, but not my favorite. The first few were so good that it's hard to come close to that bookish magic. The Treehouse Library is the second book in the series that focuses on Milo, and now he's the most important kid because he controls the Quip, a magical train that runs on stories and imagination. His uncle, the real conductor of the train is unconscious and poisoned. Milo and his new friend, Alessia, must try to find the cure to wake him. They take the train and go looking for the Botanist, if anyone has a cure it must be here. Whimsical and fun. This series is perfect for book lovers!

This was a little slower than past books but it did pick up towards the end. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series though!

A whimsical fantasy adventure with our Pages & Co crew along with some new faces. We enter new stories, meet new characters, and learn more about what the Alchemist is after. It was a joy to read and I can't wait for the next installment!

I think most of you know I love a great middle grade fiction every now and then. I’ve read all the Pages & Co books by Anna James and now I grab each one as it is released. The Treehouse Library came out recently and is the second last book in the series. Book 6 is due out next year I think.
As with all the previous books this was a lovely read that would be perfect for primary school aged kids. There are friendships, people who may not be as they seem, a bad guy, a quest to find ingredients to create a potion to save someone and lots of bookish talk. If I could make a very small complaint it would be that while still having a good storyline this felt very much like a was a transitional book. It read like it was there to set up the final book a teensy bit more than I would have liked. Still this is middle grade fiction and who doesn’t love a good cliff-hanger?
I’d definitely recommend this book and the whole series if you have young readers in your life or if you are like me and love to get nostalgic by dipping it to middle grade fiction.

4.5 - the IP characters were a bit less familiar in this one, but this is ever the ode to stories and imagination, especially as it neared the end.
