Is it possible to take a handsome and romantic
young prince (Oliver) from the pages of a fairy tale and transport him into the
real world? This is what Delilah
most fervently hopes. But there are complications because for Oliver to
successfully exist in the ‘real’ world, his place in the pages of the book must
be taken by Edgar, Delilah’s regular boy friend. You see the problems? Full of
magical relationships, adventure and humour, this sequel to Between the Lines (where Oliver and Delila's story begins) will be enjoyed by
many (mainly girls I suspect) with a romantic turn of mind and who are looking
for an easy read. Full page and
line illustrations add to the atmosphere.
Year 8 up/
