Oh how I adored this sweet book! Eleven-year-old Tilly has the ability to travel into her favourite books, and the adventures she finds herself in reminded me of books I loved reading as a kid and made me wish I was a bookwanderer, too!
A powerful story highlighted with the importance of family, love, and books made this one of my favourites for 2019!
