Pages & Co.: The Last Bookwanderer
#6 in Pages & Co. Series
What’s inside...
In the sixth and final Pages & Co. adventure, eleven-year-old Tilly Pages and her friends must save the very practice of bookwandering—slipping inside stories—before it is lost forever. After their narrow escape from the treacherous Underlibrary, bookwandering has been suspended, classic tales are fraying at the edges, and the mysterious space known as Unwritten is leaking chaos into beloved books. Guided by her grandparents, a reluctant librarian called Oskar, and a few storybook allies, Tilly journeys between the real world and endangered fictional realms to uncover a long-buried secret that could restore harmony—or destroy every story ever told.
