The Book Jumper by Mechthild Gläser
5.0

This book has definitely jumped to my favorites list. While I am always up for a good fairy-tale book, this story exceeded my expectations and is one that I read within two days. The main character, Amy and her mother decide to escape from their painful past and move to her mother's childhood home, something her mother doesn't particularly like. Amy discovers her family is one of the clans responsible for protecting the literary world, something that she quickly realizes is no easy task. Her and the other book jumpers find out there is a thief in the book world, stealing ideas from other stories and leaving them to fall apart, which includes every copy in the world. It's up to her to figure out who the thief is and why they are stealing the key elements in her favorite stories.
