You loved how Tilly literally walked into stories and chatted with Anne Shirley and Alice — that thrill of the page becoming a doorway. In Inkheart, Meggie discovers her father can read characters like Dustfinger out of books and into our world, and that power spirals into a daring rescue and a showdown with villains who were never meant to be real. It’s that same giddy, bookish magic with higher stakes and a big, beating love for stories.

If Tilly’s first leaps through the pages gave you goosebumps, September’s invitation to Fairyland will feel just right. Swept away by the Green Wind, she befriends a bookish wyverary named A-Through-L and navigates strange laws and clever bargains — the same kind of wonder and rule-bound magic that made Tilly’s bookwandering feel both enchanted and consequential.

Pages & Co. felt like a warm hug — a teacup, a stack of stories, and a secret world just beyond the stacks. In The Library of Ever, Lenora stumbles into an infinite library, takes on oddball departments (from cartography to time), and learns from mysterious librarians while helping patrons in delightfully unexpected ways. It’s that same cozy, curious spirit Tilly had in her grandparents’ shop, scaled up to a labyrinth of wonder.

Tilly’s hunt for clues about her missing mother — piecing together secrets hidden in beloved books — mirrors Olive’s discovery of enchanted spectacles that let her step into the house’s paintings. With watchful cats for allies and a past that won’t stay put, The Shadows offers a similarly gentle, spooky-tinged mystery powered by curiosity and courage.

As Tilly realizes bookwandering is part of who she is — and that it connects to her family — Morrigan Crow discovers she’s more than a supposed curse. Whisked to the Wunder-filled city of Nevermoor by the exuberant Jupiter North, she faces trials that reveal her true nature and finds a found family as heartwarming as the bustle of Pages & Co.
