The Forgotten Book
by Mechthild Gläser
Oh my God, this was so entertaining!
This is a (another) modern take on Pride and Prejudice but this story adds a magical realism storyline.
Emma wants to use the old, abandoned school library to form a club with her friends. Her father is high up in the school’s administration, so her request is easily approved.
She finds a magical book in the library. Thankfully she finds it before Darcy shows up and demands that she stop using the library. His family owns the castle where the school is, so his word is final.
At first, Emma is just trying to get her library back. But soon she realizes that there’s something strange about the book she found. It reads like a diary but when she adds a note herself, she realizes that writing in the book actually makes events happen.
She gets a little power hungry for a bit but then realizes the diary might hold the key to Darcy’s sister’s disappearance four years earlier. The more she reads, the more she learns about a mysterious faun creature.
This book was quite exciting. It hit a good stride and the action did not slow down until a nice resolution was reached at the end.
I very much enjoyed this. I definitely have to read The Book Jumper now!
