Customer Reviews

Great book but condition of the book was not correct

We absolutely love the book but the spine is falling apart. Not what I expected from a book in “very good condition”.

Just received it

I just got this in the mail this has nothing to do with the book but mine smelled gross and it had a goodwill sticker for 1.50 that was difficult to remove,, otherwise i got this book because my husband showed me the movie and i fell in love with it and i looked up the title and found that it was a book. I ordered it and i received the one that is not purple its the more classic style . I skimmed through it and the pictures are amazing, and i find that it fits really well with the movie, so if you or your child loves the movie they will fall in love with this book!

read it when i was 10!

I read this book when i was 10 and absolutely loved it! the illustrations gave me hours upon hours of enjoyment beyond reading. i strongly recommend this book for any child who is in for a good read and loves art.

This book is an awsom adventureby:BC from North Boulevard

I read The Pagemaster, written by David Kirschner. Richard is a boy that loves safety he made his own bike. This book is a book of fantasy it is for all ages because little kids and older kids would find it cool and funny, it is very detailed and very enjoyable. It is about Richard going into a library and everything is coming to life. I recommend this book because it is interesting and it makes you want to read it again. The problem is that he can't get out of the library, so the books are trying to help him

My son and I love this book!

My son and I read together at night. He is 8 years old and not all that interested in reading books "just for fun" on his own. But, he doesn't let a night go by without some reading time "together". We loved this book the minute we began. Switching reading turns per page, it was a great book to use character voices and talk about the books "Richard" had to deal with. Fun reading. My daugher, 5, loves it too.

A year 4 class opinion of The Pagemaster

Richard Tyler is scared 10 year old boy. After stumbling into the library during a storm, he meets the Pagemaster and explores the world of fiction books with three companions, Adventure, Fantasy and Horror. Richard deals with his many phobias through his journey from Fiction A-Z, encountering characters of famous stories. The illustrations were brilliant, colourful, and contained lots of detail which made them interesting. The story was well paced with lots of action which made it enjoyable to read.
