Description:
Amy Lennox doesn't know quite what to expect when she and her mother pick up and leave Germany for Scotland, heading to her mother's childhood home of Lennox House on the island of Stormsay.
Amy's grandmother, Lady Mairead, insists that Amy must read while she resides at Lennox House—but not in the usual way. It turns out that Amy is a book jumper, able to leap into a story and interact with the world inside. As thrilling as Amy's new power is, it also brings danger: someone is stealing from the books she visits, and that person may be after her life. Teaming up with fellow book jumper Will, Amy vows to get to the bottom of the thefts—at whatever cost.
Sheníe's Review:
THE BOOK JUMPER was a mellow, fun read for me. I believe readers who like literary fan fiction and fantasy will want to read this book. For me, the book was interesting, but lacked the overall excitement it had the potential for. I was exited to see what book Amy would jump into and with whom she would interact with, but I was left a little disappointed when I realized that the characters she interacted with were basically actors in a play and when the curtain went down they had different personalities then what we would traditionally read. This book did have a good mystery that had me guessing who was stealing from the stories and why they were after Amy, but I was aggravated when Amy and her love interest Will kept letting their suspects get away. The ending of the story fell flat as it felt rushed and left me with a lot of unanswered questions.
