Description:
Emma is used to things going her way. Her father is headmaster of her prestigious boarding school, her friends take her advice as gospel, and she's convinced that a relationship with her long-time crush is on the horizon.
As it turns out, Emma hasn't seen anything yet. When she finds an old book in an abandoned library, things really start going Emma's way: anything she writes in the book comes true.
But the power of the book is not without consequences, and Emma soon realizes that she isn't the only one who knows about it. Someone is determined to take it from her—and they'll stop at nothing to succeed.
A new boy in school—the arrogant, aloof, and irritatingly handsome Darcy de Winter—becomes Emma's unlikely ally as secrets are revealed and danger creeps ever closer.
Sheníe's Review:
THE FORGOTTEN BOOK is a charming mystery interlaced with magical elements akin to HARRY POTTER but with a touch of ancient Scottish folklore and an underlying romantic theme straight from Jane Austin's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. Gläser did an amazing job pulling inspiration from Jane Austin and using her work to build off of to create her own drama between Emma and Darcy and their friends. Gläser's writing style is vastly detailed, allowing me to feel as if I were trampling along the forest alongside Emma as she uncoverd the mysteries surrounding the magic book.
Fans of Mechthild Gläser's THE BOOK JUMPER will definitely want to read THE FORGOTTEN BOOK.
