Content: G (some danger)
BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Tilly’s friend Ms. Whisper has been removed from her position as head of the British Underlibrary and replaced by the very suspicious Mr. Chalk. When Tilly and Oskar travel to Paris for a visit, they also visit the pages of a book of fairy tales where they find that something is very wrong. It’s up to Tilly and Oskar to save the fairy tales and to somehow convince the adults that Mr. Chalk is not to be trusted.
The villain Chalk reappears, along with new baddies for the friends to maneuver. We also get to hear much more about bookwanderer powers and about the nature of fairytales. I especially liked learning about bookwanderers not attached to an official Underlibrary. Not essential, because it is nice and fun, but not powerful and breathless.
