Synopsis

"Mr. Lemoncello would love to go bookwandering at Pages and Co. If you love books, you're going to LOVE this book!"--Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mr. Lemoncello series

The fourth magical adventure in the nationally bestselling Pages & Co. series, starring Milo, the book smuggler. Perfect for fans of The Secret Library, Inkheart, and The Land of Stories.

Since he was six years old, Milo has lived on board the Sesquipedalian, or “Quip,” a magical train that uses the power of imagination to travel through both stories and the real world. Aboard the Quip, Milo lives and works with his uncle, Horatio, a book smuggler who trades in rare books.

When Horatio takes on a dangerous new job, he needs the help of Tilly Pages, a uniquely gifted bookwanderer. But when Tilly’s grandfather and Horatio are poisoned by a mysterious copy of The Wizard of Oz and fall into a deep sleep, Milo and Tilly find themselves racing against time to save them. The friends must journey to the Emerald City with Dorothy, and eventually to Venice, Italy, to find out who is behind these strange poisonings.

Everything about Horatio Bolt has always felt sketchy as hell to me, and now I want to punch him even more. Also, a cliffhanger ending?! NOOOOOO. And we have to wait until January for the paperback, or our books won't match!......more

Goodreads review by Beth, BooksNest on February 03, 2022

I enjoyed the fourth instalment in the Pages & Co series, diving back into Tilly’s world. We also followed a new perspective in this book too which initially I wasn’t such a fan of because I want to be back with Tilly, the character I’d grown attached to for three books. However, I quickly warmed to......more
