Critic Reviews
“The Book Jumper : "The lore of the two families and . . . descriptions of Stormsay and the library are meticulous and moody, creating a gothic atmosphere that serves this star-crossed love story well." -- Publishers Weekly "A cool gothic Scottish setting, lots of literary references to please book-ish readers, and a snarky, accessible protagonist who navigates it all with bemused flair--this novel is a well-balanced treat." -- The Bulletin”
Praise for The Forgotten Book:
"A satisfying and engrossing outing, this German import will leave readers thinking long after they've turned the final pages." --The Bulletin
"A clever book with winks at Jane Austen novels, this boarding school story will also delight fantasy fans." --School Library Journal
The Forgotten Book German Edition:
"Gläser writes in the tradition of beloved YA writers, such as Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl, Susan Cooper and J. K. Rowling. Her style is light and witty, and she is able to create a self-contained world that every reader will long to visit. . . . Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice may have been the starting point for Gläser, but she has turned the old material of enemies-turned-lovers into a charming new story. This book is an unexpected delight and a true page-turner." --New Books in German
