Who would like this book? Honestly I didn’t think I would like this book very much because it has to do with a fairy tale. I was surprised when I ended up really liking it. I loved how it had a few pages from the book that the character Oliver was stuck in. I think mostly girls would like this book and pretty much any age because it’s more ‘girly’ in a way.
The goods on this book: The book was about a girl named Delilah who’s obsessed with reading, so when she finds a dusty old book shoved in the back of her library, she couldn’t resist. Once Delilah starts reading, she finds herself addicted to the fairy tale and even a bit interested in the main character Oliver. As Delilah’s reading, Oliver speaks to her. Delilah thinks she’s going insane, but it’s actually true. Characters in a book have their own life once a book is closed. Not many can hear the characters speaking because they don’t listen hard enough.
