Between the lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer
Allen and Unwin, 2012. ISBN 1743310927.
Delilah hates school, she would rather pretend she is somewhere
else. That's why she loves books so much. Every time she opens one
she can pretend she is someone else, somewhere else. But there is
one particular book she can't get enough of. It's a lovely fairy
tale she found sitting the library and if anyone knew how much she
had read that book over and over again she'd be a social outcast
forever.
When the main character of the book, a prince named Oliver, starts
talking to Delilah she thinks she must be crazy. Oliver wants to be
free of his story and Delilah will do just about anything to
help him. But after a failed attempt to get a spider out of the book
it looks like Oliver might be permanently stuck.
This book had my eyes glued to the pages until the very end; it was
amazing. This book was definitely a different style for Jodi Picoult
but was still just as good as all of her other books and an amazing
first book for Samantha Van Leer. I would highly recommend this book
to people who like fantasy stories and Jodi Picoult's books.
