Milo Bolt， the nephew of the formidable and conflicting Horatio Bolt， is ready to be the main protagonist in his own life。 Sneaking away from Pages & Co with Alessia， Milo learns how to drive the Quip and goes in search of the Botanist， in the hopes of finding a cure for his poisoned Uncle， and to put an end to the nefarious work of the Alchemist， Alessia’s father。 Their search for the Botanist leads them to her home， a magical treehouse library in the northern woods of England。 Since being intr Milo Bolt， the nephew of the formidable and conflicting Horatio Bolt， is ready to be the main protagonist in his own life。 Sneaking away from Pages & Co with Alessia， Milo learns how to drive the Quip and goes in search of the Botanist， in the hopes of finding a cure for his poisoned Uncle， and to put an end to the nefarious work of the Alchemist， Alessia’s father。 Their search for the Botanist leads them to her home， a magical treehouse library in the northern woods of England。 Since being introduced to Pages & Co in 2019 with the debut novel The Bookwanderers， I have been utterly entranced by the world created by Anna James。 A woman who loves books and the places they reside in， who understands the sheer magic of reading and creating stories。 At first blush I was a little disoriented with The Treehouse Library， and disheartened to have a Pages & Co story without Tilly as the focus， but those feelings were gone within a few short chapters as James used her skill and poetic narrative to weave the reader into Milo’s tale， Milo’s world， Milo’s emotional journey。 Milo and the Botanist take us into the pages of nonsense with Edward Lear， a place that Tilly and Oscar had not previously encountered。 Entering a nonsense poem certainly does help emphasize the importance of jumping into the "story” at the right point。 And while the Jabberwocky certainly takes center stage， it was their journey into The Owl and the PussyCat that tugged at my heartstrings。 This is something I remember learning as a child and while I can no longer recite the poem， it felt wonderfully like going home again， as all good stories do。James has a gift for joining her stories with the wit and whimsy of the stories her characters bookwander into， and in The Treehouse Library we are led into the world of Robin Hood。 I enjoyed how the characters focused on Friar Tuck， and it was Alessia’s interaction with the good Friar that showed us more of her character than we had previously seen。 The moral ambiguity she inherited from her infamous father is certainly useful in situations like this， but it remains to be seen whether this will help or hinder Milo as the story progresses in the finale。While there is plenty from the previous books to keep us interested， The Treehouse Library finally introduces us in person to The Botanist， a heretofore almost mythical character。 Referred to by Horatio and The Alchemist frequently。 Until we meet her， we aren’t quite sure whether she will be a force for good， bad， or indifferent。 One of the things James does really well is illustrate the idea that your perspective greatly affects whether you see yourself as the good guy or bad guy in the story。 The Botanist， is neither and both of these things， and is certainly unlike anyone we have encountered before。We are also able to return to the Underlibrary in this book and discover what has happened there in the wake of the nefarious Underwoods。 As it turns out， there’s a lot more to this amazing place than we have seen in previous stories。 And the discovery that there is both a “Lost Property Office” and a “Lost Properly Office” is absolutely delightful。The ending of this story left me speechless with anticipation for the next and final installment。 I was literally sitting on my couch fist pumping into the air。 I cannot talk about it without giving a ridiculous amount of spoilers， so many things happen in the final few pages。 It combines all of my favorite elements of things introduced by James over four Pages & Co novels， and of so many of my favorite things about magic and literature。 Literally fist pumping into the air。 The next book comes out later this year in the UK and I simply cannot wait。I received a copy of this book for review purposes。 www。geekmom。com 。。。more

Adventures， books， and stories are the way the story takes the reader making the reader hooked to the book。

A fun read， but not as enchanting as the first few books with some unnecessarily complicated relationships but also luckily some great finds， such as the way the Quip has a central and comic role in this episode of Pages & Co

I received an electronic ARC from PENGUIN GROUP Penguin Young Readers Group through NetGalley。The fifth in this series focuses on Milo and Alessia。 They succeed in locating the Botanist and work with her to find the cure ingredients to wake up Milo's Uncle Horatio。 Both Milo and Alessia learn what it is to be accepted for who they are and encouraged to grow and become who they are meant to be。 By the end of the book， Tilly and Oskar have joined them， and the five of them set off to find the Book I received an electronic ARC from PENGUIN GROUP Penguin Young Readers Group through NetGalley。The fifth in this series focuses on Milo and Alessia。 They succeed in locating the Botanist and work with her to find the cure ingredients to wake up Milo's Uncle Horatio。 Both Milo and Alessia learn what it is to be accepted for who they are and encouraged to grow and become who they are meant to be。 By the end of the book， Tilly and Oskar have joined them， and the five of them set off to find the Book of Books。 Some will be surprised to learn who the Anonymous Reader is and others will have suspected since the last book。James continues to draw readers in to be book wanderers along with her characters。 。。。more

I have loved this series so much！ It’s so magical and wondrous。 It’s a middle grade series but my 28 year old heart still feels so much joy reading them。 Book 5 was packed with so much adventure and the gang wandering in some really awesome books。 The way this book ended there definitely has to be a book 6 and hopefully asap or I riot！ Haha I loved how this was focus on Milo and Alessia again but I do miss seeing Tilly and Oskar a lot more。 The quip is also back and that train is so incredible t I have loved this series so much！ It’s so magical and wondrous。 It’s a middle grade series but my 28 year old heart still feels so much joy reading them。 Book 5 was packed with so much adventure and the gang wandering in some really awesome books。 The way this book ended there definitely has to be a book 6 and hopefully asap or I riot！ Haha I loved how this was focus on Milo and Alessia again but I do miss seeing Tilly and Oskar a lot more。 The quip is also back and that train is so incredible that I wish to be a passenger one day。。 look it could happen！ I recommend this book for all ages and I feel like anyone would enjoy them。 Thank me later！！ 。。。more

This book is the fifth in the series。 When Milo Bolt and Alessia Dela- Porta leave Pages & and Co to find a cure for Milo’s Uncle they find themselves at a treehouse where the Botanist lives。 Milo and Alessia believe that the Botanist can help find the ingredients for the cure， they were right！ Surprisingly Milo’s Grandma is also at the treehouse with the Botanist。 I recommend this book to anybody who believes in magic and has a heart for reading and adventures。

This one got off to a slightly slow start but there was some good depth to the world building in the second half。I missed Pages & Co itself in this installment but the treehouse library does sound amazing。I eagerly anticipate the final installment in this wonderful series。

I must admit to being slightly disappointed when the MC changed from Tilly after book 3 and my enjoyment of book 4 was lessened somewhat， but oh my gosh this one was blooming brilliant， I flew through it and I didn't want it to end especially as it did。This book picks up where book 4 ends， Milo our new MC and sidekick Alessia are on the hunt for the Alchemist via the Botanist travelling on the Quip a magical train。Milo as a character grows so much through this story and Alessia totally shines as I must admit to being slightly disappointed when the MC changed from Tilly after book 3 and my enjoyment of book 4 was lessened somewhat， but oh my gosh this one was blooming brilliant， I flew through it and I didn't want it to end especially as it did。This book picks up where book 4 ends， Milo our new MC and sidekick Alessia are on the hunt for the Alchemist via the Botanist travelling on the Quip a magical train。Milo as a character grows so much through this story and Alessia totally shines as his sidekick / best friend。Tilly and Oskar make a small appearance and I'm glad at how that came to be。The story itself was fast paced and the stories they visit included one of my favourite children's classics ever。Wonderful， magical and just pure brilliant。 。。。more

Deze serie heeft een speciaal plekje in mijn hart （en in mijn boekenkast）。 Maar dit deel kon me minder bekoren。Ik vond dat het verhaal heel traag op gang kwam。 En toen het eenmaal op gang was， greep het me niet enorm。Wel weer wat leuke details enzo， maar ik ben niet overdonderd zoals bij de andere delen， helaas。。。

I simply love this series。It doesn´t talk down to children。It works with one of the most original and wonderful ideas I have come across in any fantasy book。It has immensely loveable characters。It makes an adult readers happy with glimpses of characters from their own childhood books and at the same time gives children a possible tip for more reading。Yes， this one was a little less about action and there was a lot of talking， but it still remains charming and engaging。 I am very much looking for I simply love this series。It doesn´t talk down to children。It works with one of the most original and wonderful ideas I have come across in any fantasy book。It has immensely loveable characters。It makes an adult readers happy with glimpses of characters from their own childhood books and at the same time gives children a possible tip for more reading。Yes， this one was a little less about action and there was a lot of talking， but it still remains charming and engaging。 I am very much looking forward to reading the next one。 。。。more

Man this was unexpected… and while I loved the book， it felt a bit weird having tilly not being the main character…。 Still the story is amazing and that cliffhanger…。 Come on Anna you are cruel。Can’t wait for the last book to be released。

I've been a dedicated reader of this series and will see it out to the end。 It's disappointing， though， that Tilly is now only a minor character， with the very boring Milo taking top billing， this time joined by Alessia， the evil Alchemist's daughter， as a sidekick。 As in Volume 4， the plot and world-building are overcomplicated and detract from what has been the real joy of the books: the actual bookwandering。 Here we briefly travel into "The Owl and the Pussycat，" "The Jabberwocky，" and the Ro I've been a dedicated reader of this series and will see it out to the end。 It's disappointing， though， that Tilly is now only a minor character， with the very boring Milo taking top billing， this time joined by Alessia， the evil Alchemist's daughter， as a sidekick。 As in Volume 4， the plot and world-building are overcomplicated and detract from what has been the real joy of the books: the actual bookwandering。 Here we briefly travel into "The Owl and the Pussycat，" "The Jabberwocky，" and the Robin Hood legends。 Those scenes are highlights。 It's also a touch unfortunate that James has to mention in an afterword （in which she recommends more recent children's books） that her series includes old books because they are out of copyright， as if， were it not for that technicality， the classics wouldn't be as worthy of spotlighting。A favourite passage:"You don't ever have to really know why you like a poem or a story or a book。 If something in it speaks to something in you， then that's all there is to it。" 。。。more

The best one so far， but I probably should have realised after book 4， that this one would also leave me hanging！ Now I'll have to wait far too long for the finale。 The best one so far， but I probably should have realised after book 4， that this one would also leave me hanging！ Now I'll have to wait far too long for the finale。 。。。more

The best book yet， full of adventure and a decent storyline that spans generations。 I also much preferred following Milo and Alessia， Milo and Alessia are both complex characters who take on responsibility for those around them without once moaning， only ever wanting to help。 Tilly whines too much and Oskar is just childish。 This book felt a little more mature and asked more of its readers with regards to backstories。Milo and Alessia > Tilly and Oskar any day。
