Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer
Delilah is a high school student who is obsessed with a book intended for kids. The book in question is a fairy tale about a prince named Oliver, who was born without courage. Oliver decides to go out on an adventure to save a princess named Sarafine. This is what happens while the story is being read, but when the book is closed and the characters are free to do whatever they please, Prince Oliver does not love Sarafine, in fact he wants nothing to do with her. He's to busy trying to get the attention of another girl, the one on the outside named Delilah. Delilah is reading the book one day, like she does so often, when she notices that some things are different this time, was that chessboard there the last time she read it? Was it just her imagination, or did Prince Oliver just write the word help in the rock? Slowly Delilah realizes that there is more to the story than is normally seen, and she begins to fall in love with Prince Oliver. Together, the two try whatever they can think of to get Prince Oliver out of the book and into the real world so that they can create a better happily ever after together.
I loved this book, it gets the reader thinking about what really goes on in the picture books when you close the pages, it shows the amount of bravery a man born without bravery can actually have, and it was a classic long distance romance novel with a magical twist. The only question is...how will the leaving of the main character affect the story?
