She can hop into any novel, she just can’t stay there. Come along with the book witch in this magical and inspiring love letter to reading from the USA Today bestselling author of The Wishing Game.
Rainy March is
a proud third-generation book witch, sworn to defend works of fiction
from all foes real and imaginary. With her magical umbrella and feline
familiar, she jumps into and out of novels to fix malicious alterations
and rogue heroes.
Book witches live by a strict Real people
belong in the real word; fictional characters belong in works of
fiction…. Do not eat, drink, or sleep inside a fictional world, lest you
become part of the story. Falling in love with a fictional character? Don’t even think about it.
Which
is why Rainy has been forbidden from seeing the Duke of Chicago, the
dashing British detective who stars in her favorite mystery series. If
she’s ever caught with him again, she’ll be expelled from
her book coven—and forced to give up the magical gifts that are as much a
part of her as her own name.
But when her beloved grandfather
disappears and a priceless book is stolen, there’s only one person she
trusts to help her solve the case: the Duke. Their quest takes them
through the worlds of Alice in Wonderland, The Great Gatsby, and other classics that will reveal hidden enemies and long-buried family secrets.
What I thought about The Book Witch
What if you could just jump into your favorite story and interact with your favorite characters? Book witch Rainy March can, and she is called to help in the fictional world. There are rules of course, but rules are made for breaking!
This story is super creative and a bit mind bending as I've come to expect from this author. The attention to detail and realism of it all is just fabulous. The writing moves along nicely and the twists and reveals keep coming. It touched about my early reading experiences, which were wonderful. It made me remember books like the Nancy Drew series, which were required reading in my early days. I really enjoyed this story. Very clever and lots of fun.
