Amy Lennox doesn't know quite what to expect when she and her mother pick up and leave Germany for Scotland, heading to her mother's childhood home of Lennox House on the island of Stormsay.
Amy's grandmother, Lady Mairead, insists that Amy must read while she resides at Lennox House—but not in the usual way. It turns out that Amy is a book jumper, able to leap into a story and interact with the world inside. As thrilling as Amy's new power is, it also brings danger: someone is stealing from the books she visits, and that person may be after her life. Teaming up with fellow book jumper Will, Amy vows to get to the bottom of the thefts—at whatever cost.

My Review: Love this world.
Amy and her mother pick up their lives and head back to her mother's home. Amy didn't expect so many secrets to be revealed when they arrived at the Lennox House.
First, the home is larger than she expected. Second, she can jump into books. Yes, its the family's gift. They can all dive into books. Now who doesn't want this gift? Get the chance to dive into any book you want, meet your favorite characters, now whats better than that?
Well, soon Amy will learn there are dangers in doing so. Be careful not to bring them out into the real world, alter their world, etc. However, there was one person in the group who broke such a rule and brought an iconic character out into the real world. And then this character gets murdered.....
Now this gift has caused trouble.....
The more that unfolds, the more you get sucked into this story. This is something that is different and refreshing to read. I will be looking out for more books by this author.
