This book was an action packed fast paced read that I found similar to books such as Percy Jackson, Harry Potter and other great series. In books like these it is a series of potentially dangerous situations that keep the characters moving along and going towards the finale of the book.

The main characters are Cordelia, Elinor and Brendan, three siblings who move into a new house after their father loses his job and has to move them into a big and scary house. They have only been there a few days when they are cursed by the daughter of the houses builder who sends the three main character inside one of her fathers books. They encounter a wide range of dangerous scenarios and meet a whole host of different characters in their attempt to get back to their parents.

There are a lot of secondary characters in this book but the most noteworthy one for me is Will the character in the book that they are trapped inside of, an army guy locked inside the book and unaware of the outside world. He provides a lot of pop culture references and a character for Cordelia to have a crush on, he also helps the three main characters in their adventure.

The storyline is very much an adventure story like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson where one thing leads to another. The pacing was good as it was extremely fast paced and quick moving with each situation leading to another.

4 stars a good read
