---

Tilly Pages is a bookwanderer. She can read herself into books and talk and interact with the characters. But there's something strange happening with the fairy tales, and it's considered dangerous to bookwander in them. That doesn't stop Tilly and her best friend Oskar, who want to solve the problem. 

There's something special and cozy with book characters who visit other book characters! Here it also gets somewhat scary, with both humans and characters scheming against each other. The book is rather substantial, but easy to read with airiness to the text and some illustrations. I think this is appreciated by the target group, middle graders, as well as by adults who enjoy books and reading!
