Adorable, charming and a light and easy read. Only criticism is that it is written a bit young, maybe aimed at tweens and pre teens. But overal, a sweet fun modern fairy tale that is very enjoyable.

REVIEW 1: After accidentally injuring the most popular girl in the school, 15 year old Delilah has become the most hated. She escapes her troubles at school and home by burying herself in a dusty old copy of a children’s fairy tale she found in the school library. Despite her mother’s nagging her to give up this childish pastime, Delilah is totally hooked on the story and especially with the main character, Prince Oliver, who is handsome, brave, adventurous and… one day winks at her from page 43! While Delilah is wishing to flee her unhappy life, Oliver would also like to escape his- right out of the repetitious predictability of his life inside the story, into Delilah’s. The two teens conspire to release Oliver from the pages of his book while a gentle romantic attraction grows between them and builds to a surprising but satisfying ending. Written from 3 points of view, with beautiful colour illustrations throughout, this fast-paced, humourous tale-within-a-tale is clever and magical, with realistic characters and dialogue. Teen-aged daughter of famed author Jodi Picoult, Van Leer who created the idea for the story, is a promising new author to watch! Reviewed by GF. REVIEW 2:This book is a collaboration between mother and daughter. It is aimed at young readers age 11+. Do you ever wonder what happens when you close a book? The main character Delilah loves to read. Her special book is called Between the Lines, Fairy-tales meant for children. Delilah feels a connection with the main character Prince Oliver because they both grew up without fathers. Once when Delilah was reading the book again, she notices something in the illustrations. She begins to talk to Prince Oliver, and he starts talking back. They start working together to try and get Oliver out of the book because he feels like he doesn’t belong there. At the end Prince Oliver will find a way to be with Delilah. This book has cool illustrations. This book is funny, sweet and charming. Reviewed by JP.

so far this is my favourite book by picoult. it kept me reading and reading, i had to skip dinner in order to read. that was how amazing between the lines is. overall the book was good, but i did not like how she changed prespectives every chapter and it sort of made me confused, but read it and you will enjoy it!!!

Not bad, although I have read many other Jodi Picoult books, so my perspective may be affected by how much her other books, like My Sister's Keeper, are spectacular. Very sweet, though some parts I flipped through because of lack of interest. Otherwise, an intriguing story.

This is an excellent book for teens and adults. What a great idea for Mom and Daughter to write a book together. Read and enjoy :)

I thought this book was really cute. Granted, I've never read any of Jodi Picoult's previous books, but this was a really quick, easy read that I really enjoyed. I especially enjoyed the adorable pictures.

This was so different from other Picoult novels, that I didn't care for it. Interesting idea, but the fairy tale part is just not my "thing." So I confess that I did not read very far. Didn't think it was fair for me to rate it since it was not my taste. I'm sure it is well done for those who like this sort of book.

didn't like it. Interesting way to create a story.

It was OK, not sure if it was "Young Adult" as opposed to maybe a 12 year old girl, maybe 12 year olds are Young Adults now. I don't mind reading some YA books (Twilight) but this one was too childish and a bit boring. When I read it was a spin on fairy tales, I thought "cool." But it wasn't.

I love Jodi Picoult books but not this one. Maybe I didn't give it enough time because after 20 or so pages, I quit.
