A captivating, curl-up-on-the-sofa debut about the magic of books and the power of the imagination.

Since her mother’s disappearance, eleven-year-old Tilly has found comfort in stories at Pages & Co., her grandparents’ bookshop. But when her favourite characters, Anne of Green Gables and Alice from Wonderland, appear in the shop, Tilly’s adventures become very real. Not only can she follow Anne and Alice into their thrilling worlds, she discovers she can bookwander into any story she chooses.

Tilly’s new ability could even help her solve the mystery of what happened to her mother all those years ago. But danger may be lurking on the very next page…

Perfect book for fantasy lovers.

I received this book in a good condition but the starting pages started to fall... like they came out bcoz the glue wasn't applied properly. I bought this for my daughter and the fantasy is amazing, she loved this book a lot. Actually the true story starts after 150 pages but before that tilly's life and the begining of the mysteries is showned and she loved it a lot. This was the first book from which she started reading story books. I highly recommend this for fantasy and story book lover. It's a perfect book.

As magical adventure travelling in and out of books, the storyline had great potential. But this book wasn't quite as good as it could have been. The characters are weak and don't make an impact. But what I felt lacked the most was accuracy in writing. When you read a book related to magic you expect all the rules well thought of. Instead most of the main characters questions were left unanswered and that made the story feel unfinished.

Don’t get stuck in the end papers!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 19 September 2019

This is such a magical story, and I look forward to reading it to my kids one day in the future. I was apprehensive about starting it, as I've recently come out of a bad run of books, and I just was not sure how it was going to be.

During a quiet shift at work, I zipped through this in no time. The chapters are short, and the book just feels weighed down in magic. Anna James has done a remarkable job with weaving your childhood fantasies into a story, including some of my favourite books, including Anne of Green Gables.

Matilda/Tilly is the main character, who welcomed me into this book with open arms, if that was at all possible. I can see any young children, boys and girls, enjoying this, as Oskar (Tilly's friend) is also a likeable, if not mysterious character. I hope we find out more about him in the sequel.

If you fell in love with reading as a child, whether it be through school, or your parents reading to you, or you've read books along similar lines (Between The Lines by Jodi Picoult and her daughter, Samantha Van Leer, is one that comes to mind), I would highly recommend picking this up. I also managed to get my hands on a signed copy via Amazon, unknowingly, which was a lovely surprise.

If this book had been around when I was young, I think I would have viewed books a lot differently to how I did and I will certainly be reading some of my childhood favourites in a new light.

Perfect for fans of Once Upon A Time and Night At the Museum

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 3 October 2021

Matilda ‘Tilly’ Pages lives with her grandma and grandpa who own a cosy bookstore called Pages & Co. Naturally, Tilly has grown up as a proud bibliophile and often prefers fictional characters to real people and longs for an adventure beyond her mundane life. It doesn’t take long for Tilly’s wish to come true, when characters from her favourite books start popping up in the bookstore and open Tilly’s eyes to the world of all things Bookwandering.

When I read Matilda ”flopped dramatically into a chair” and ”flung her head theatrically” - it was the moment I knew I was going to enjoy this book and it’s protagonist, and that was only page one. An utter delight and true pleasure to read. Truly, I had a smile plastered on my face throughout reading this. I wasn’t even 50 pages into it and I knew this was a book I’ll happily reread again in future.

We follow eleven year old Tilly, who’s on her school holidays and feeling dejected after her closest friend has moved on to a new friend group, leaving Tilly behind. As much as Tilly’s grandparents try to keep her spirits raised, they remind her of her orphaned origins without her mother or father around to love and support her. It’s no surprise Tilly turns to reading to find solace - being a bookworm is in her blood - although it soon becomes clear Tilly’s not just a bookworm, but a bookwanderer: a reader who can travel into stories and bring characters to life. And we’re off on an adventure! Along with Anne of Green Gables, Alice of Wonderland and Tilly’s neighbour Oskar, we journey to Avonlea, Wonderland, the high seas and ultimately discover friendship and a palpable plot twist.

Pages & Co. Tilly and the Bookwanderers is a children’s story that doesn’t leave you wanting for anything other than the next instalment. Even though I would say the book lost a little momentum by the middle of the story, it picked up again toward the end and ends setting up the sequel and tonnes of potential bookwandering stories.

If you or your kids love the adventures of books and classics like Alice in Wonderland, or even the Night At the Museum films and the TV show Once Upon A Time, then this will be right up your alley. It’s sheer wonder and the definition of cosy, happy reading. I can’t recommend it enough!

Also, I have to mention how beautiful the book is. I have the hardcover and the design is so eye catching. The book has a variety of lovely illustrations and fonts that effectively liven up the reading experience, which I imagine will be beneficial for kids engagement. Big well done to the publishers for the book’s internal and external design, it makes the book all the more enchanting.

Patchy - some of it good, some less so

Eleven-year-old Tilly finds she can follow her favourite book characters into their worlds. Will she uncover what happened to her lost mother?
Someone mentioned this children’s book to me, and it sounded intriguing in relation to something else I was thinking about, so I had a look. It is intriguing, with a clever plot twist and some very good scenes (my favourite is when Tilly goes into the world of a Peter and Jane primary reader).
It had two problems for me, though. First, it was less interesting when Tilly entered books I was unfamiliar with. Second, it got bogged down towards the end in unnatural dialogue explaining the complicated rules governing the magic, and thereby lost my interest.

I read Tilly and the Book Wonderers (Pages and Co book 1) as one of our monthly middle grade book club choices. If you love middle grade books and would like to join us (we’re very casual) check out @middlegrademarvels over on twitter.
It’s taken me a long time to write my review for this delightful children’s book but it’s one that I simply couldn’t forget about. It’s a must for avid readers from 8 and up and who doesn’t love a book that’s about books?
Tilly lives with her grandparents in a large bookshop spanning several floors. She discovers that her family are book wonderers and possess the ability to move in and out of books and converse with character and sets off on a mission to find out why her mum disappeared when she was younger. I loved book wondering with Tilly, in and out of classics such as Alice, Anne of Green Gables and The Little Princess. It’s such a magical story that brings known stories to life in such a clever way.
Everything in this novel is described with such beautiful and vivid description. I want to live in the bookshop too! There are spiral staircases, a book themed café with sumptuous snacks, armchairs and cosy fireplaces and loads of little nooks to hide and read in. It is my dream home (and job). As Tilly begins her adventures and learns more about her heritage, everything is described so visually – making it easy for younger readers to imagine and join every step of the adventure.
The plot will delight any reader and I am certain we have all wished we could be in a book many times. It’s jam packed full of adventure, magic and a few twists and is a perfect story to share with children.
I cannot wait to read more of the series and go on more adventures with Tilly.

The book I wish I had as a child

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 7 February 2022

Verified Purchase

Pages & Co is the book I wanted and needed as a child. I absolutely adored it as an adult, but I just know that if I had read it when I was who it was aimed for, it would’ve been my favourite childhood book (and probably series). It had a bookshop, the cutest grandparents, Alice in Wonderland, magic, travelling in books, family and friendships.

I loved the imagination in this, the little bookish references that were subtle but so noticeable at the same time. I couldn’t put it down. I basically want to be a bookwanderer. I already think that this book is going to be in my top 10 for 2022 and yes we’re only one month in!

Basically…read this book, you’re welcome 😂
