A character in a book that’s been left on the shelf, Sylvie (12yo) gets discouraged from a couple of false starts. Everyone is doing their best, but their story is continuously interrupted. And then Sylvie breaks the rules and leaves her story behind, exploring a new world where she must save their newest reader, Claire.
At first, I wasn’t sure how I felt about the book within the book, but I ended up enjoying Sylvie’s story more than I expected. Townley illustrates how beautifully stories can brighten, influence, and change the lives of readers—and it’s fun to think about how our favorite characters might love us just as much as we love them.
Sylvie is depicted with light skin on the cover. The mature content rating is for mild sexual harassment and mild scary elements.
