"Mr. Lemoncello would love to go bookwandering at Pages and Co. If you love books, you're going to LOVE this book!"—Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mr. Lemoncello series
The fourth magical adventure in the nationally bestselling Pages & Co. series, starring Milo, the book smuggler. Perfect for fans of The Secret Library, Inkheart, and The Land of Stories.
Since he was six years old, Milo has lived on board the Sesquipedalian, or “Quip,” a magical train that uses the power of imagination to travel through both stories and the real world. Aboard the Quip, Milo lives and works with his uncle, Horatio, a book smuggler who trades in rare books.
When Horatio takes on a dangerous new job, he needs the help of Tilly Pages, a uniquely gifted bookwanderer. But when Tilly’s grandfather and Horatio are poisoned by a mysterious copy of The Wizard of Oz and fall into a deep sleep, Milo and Tilly find themselves racing against time to save them. The friends must journey to the Emerald City with Dorothy, and eventually to Venice, Italy, to find out who is behind these strange poisonings.

      Aysha Kala returns to narrate this exciting, new adventure, the fourth in the Pages & Co. series. This installment begins with helpful highlights of the previous audiobooks before launching into a new story featuring Milo Bolt; his uncle, Horatio; and their magical train, the "Quip," which travels through books. A mysterious poisoning sends Milo and Tilly Pages on a desperate quest into THE WIZARD OF OZ in search of clues and an antidote. Kala's bright voice and English accent are well suited to the narrative. She creates a variety of characterizations through subtle modulation in tone and accents. Her only weakness is an awkward Italian inflection when the characters are in Venice, but that doesn't detract from her storytelling skills. She keeps listeners engaged from start to cliff-hanger finish. S.A.A. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
