Synopsis
Third in the modern-classic and bestselling bookwandering series that celebrates all that is best in life: books, adventure, friendship – and cake.
Strange things are happening. A man comes into Pages Co looking for a book… then suddenly can’t remember it. Tilly and her family feel like the world is changing – but can’t quite put their finger on why.
Meanwhile, the Underwoods are expanding their control over bookwandering – and they still have their sights set on Tilly. Leaving the safety of the bookshop, Tilly heads to America to find the legendary Archivists and save bookwandering…
… or at least, that’s the plan. Wandering in layers of story, Tilly and her friend Oskar come up against dangers they could never have expected, team up with an unexpectedly familiar face, and ultimately find themselves taking on the biggest threat to stories there has ever been – with only their courage and ingenuity to help them. As well as some of their dearest fictional friends…

Review
I received this book from the publisher via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
I love this series. So I went into this with high expectations and yet somehow they were STILL surpassed. All hail Anna James, queen of my heart.
I really liked that this was more of a journey and getting to see more of the world and the politics around it. I also liked that we get some wrap up around the main story arc in the first three books, but that it’s not the end of the story. I’m so excited to find out what is coming next. Not long to go now!
I just adore this world. I really want to be able to bookwander. Honestly, this series is just pure excellent fun.
Buy Tilly and the Map of Stories by Anna James from Waterstones or Blackwells.
