Booknesia21
This book featured of a girl, Delilah and a boy, Oliver
who is one of the characters that portrayed in the fairytale book which Delilah
loved to read. That’s why Jodi Picoult and her daughter made a special chapter
each for Oliver and Delilah because this story was about two different worlds.
After Oliver, then Delilah and after Delilah, it was Oliver again. It would be
like that until the end of the story.
So, here we go!!!

THE SUMMARY OF EACH CHAPTER1. The beginning
This
chapter focussed on how was the story in the fairytale book that Delilah always
reads from time to time. It told how Oliver’s father, King Maurice died after
having a battle with a monster created by Rapscullio, a man who was in love
with the the Queen Maureen. Because of the battle, Oliver did not get “courage”
from the third fairy cause the fairy gave him life instead of courage to save
him as he did not cry when he was born. So, he just got wisdom from the first
fairy, loyalty from the second fairy and life from the third fairy.

2. Oliver
Oliver
was bored to play his role as prince over and over whenever the book was
opened. This chapter told us how Oliver, Frump (have a role as Oliver’s dog),
and Queen Maureen were just free to go about their business when the book was closed.
That’s made him to actively dream about life in the Otherworld. But when Oliver
was busy playing chess, Delilah opened the book in a sudden and that made
Oliver to be panic. And it’s freaking out when the chessboard was still there,
a proof that there was a life in this book were still carved on the beach.

3. Delilah
Delilah
had a best friend named, Jules and Jules understood her fixation on books as
she felt the same way about B-movies horror films. But Delilah had never been
told Jules about her addiction towards the fairytale book as she was just
embarrassed with her choice of reading material. She got obsessed with this
book because the very first thing that she learned about Oliver was it wasn’t easy
growing up without dad. Maybe Delilah’s father did not die in battle but he had
left her mother when she was ten years old and found himself a new, improved
family. Delilah got shocked when she saw a chessboard on the sand but he got
furious when she read the book again and there was still no chessboard on the
sand. Another strange situation happened when she saw the dagger clenched
between his hand is now in his right hand.

Oliver realized that Delilah had noticed the
chessboard on the sand so, he took a chance on the page when he was alone by
scratching the words “HELP ME”.He was quite happy when she saw that.

Delilah
went crazy when she knew herself was talking with a book. But she felt grateful
when Oliver was desperate for her to return. She was also impatient to tell
Jules the truth, hope she could tell someone what had really been happened. But
when she saw that page, Oliver did not speak anything to them and he was just
being quiet as the role as he supposed to do.

Oliver
told Queen Maureen that he had fallen in love with someone outside the book. He
asked her opinion about that love. And at same time, Frump gathered all the
characters in the book to have a meeting. He told them that currently, the
reader reads on the page 43 so, he decided to make something different to make
them being noticed by the reader. Oliver also discovered that Rapscullio could
create anything he wanted just by painting it – even when the story wasn’t
being read.

student in her school would hate her but Oliver said to her that he would not

that he had been figured out the way out of the book.

Delilah
showed Oliver a thorough tour of her room so, Oliver can remember every corner
of her room. After, he quickly met up Rapscullio and asked her to help to paint
something as a present to his friend. He gave instruction to Rapscullio and
making corrections when necessary.Finally, he saw a detailed replica of
Delilah’s room.It was perfect but he did not know how to paint himself into
paint cause he was afraid Rapscullio would tell the other characters
especially, Frump that he wanted to leave the story.

Delilah complained
Oliver for taking so long and she has been waiting for an hour and a half and
the result is nothing. On the other hand, Delilah’s mother was worried of her
as she heared her talking to herself for a whole night. That’s made her angry.
Finally, Delilah opened page 43 and told Oliver that he started to show up flat
as pancake. Oliver was quite sad and told Delilah to close the book cause he
wanted to be alone.

Oliver
came to Rapscullio for the third time and asked him to show his collection of
books. Oliver read the cover of Between The Lines and saw a picture of himself
on the very first page as he was string into a mirror. Then, he got an idea why
not he edit himself out of this one as he may not be able to pain himself into
another world.

She
paired up with Allie as her lab partner during her Biology class.Allie’s
boyfriend, Ryan dragged his stool toward our lab table, even though he was
supposed to be working with someone else. Then, suddenly Ryan grabbed the frog
and shoved it so close to my face then, with all her might she pushed away from
him and it caused enough commotion that the entire class stopped to watch. She
was really feeling down because of that bad incident and she knew the only one
that would make her to feel better was Oliver. Her mother also became so
worried of her and told her that they were going to Dr.Ducharne.

Oliver
eagerly waiting for Delilah to be back from her school and told her the big
discovery that he had been found. At the same moment, Frump came asking help
from him. He asked him to follow him to the forest to meet with Seraphima
because Seraphima did not want to meet him if only just Frump. On this chapter,
Delilah urgently asked Oliver to talk to her but it just made him to be
confused because Delilah always asks him to be quiet whenever her mother is
around her.

the enormous fish tank.

into million pieces, vanishing into nothing but dust.

Oliver
was relieved as he knew that Delilah was alive. Delilah told Oliver that she
knew that girl cause that girl was the author of Between The Lines, Jessamyn.

the story so, Oliver could come out of the book
but Jessamyn refused as the story did not belong to her anymore. Delilah
also met with Jessamyn’s son ,Edgar who looked exactly as the same as Oliver

Synopsis:
Delilah, a loner hates school as
much as she loves books – one book in particular. In fact if anyone knew how
many times she has read and reread the sweet little fairy tale she found in the
library, especially her cooler than cool classmates, she’d be sent to social
Siberia……forever. To Delilah , though this fairy tale is more than just words
on the page. Sure, there’s a handsome (well,okay,incredibly handsome) prince,
and a castle, and an evil villain, but it feels as if there’s something deeper
going on. And one day, Delilah finds out there is. Turns out, this prince
Charming is not just a one-dimensional character in a book. He’s real and, a
certain fifteen – year – old loner has caught his eye. But they’re from two
different worlds, and how can it ever possibly work?
Review:
This is Jodi’s first-ever tween/YA novel, co-written with her daughter
Samantha. Between the lines was Sammy’s idea, and frankly, she’s got a better
imagination than Jodi ever did at her age.So, this novel was a kind of other
successful novels by Jodi Picoult.
This book actually doesn’t feel like young adult,but it’s a charming and
refreshing to read. I also think this is a perfect book for younger readers
maybe middle school aged to early high school because the main character,
Delilah, is only 15, a freshman in high school. But I am 21 and I am still
enjoyed reading this book and I read it until the end. I also hope the sweet
little romance will happen to me.hehehe..
Maybe the fans of Jodi Picoult’s adult novels will be disappointed with this
novel but the first thing you need to do to pick up this book: forget
about her solo work and remember this a joint effort.Trust me when I say it is
something completely different from any of her previous works.And boy, is it
wonderful.
Let me just say how completely amazing I found this premise. As someone who has
always loved reading, I have sometimes wondered what it would be like if the
characters in books were real, if they lived in our world. However, I love the
idea that the characters in the book have their own lives when the book is
closed and that they’re completely different people from those they played in
the book. So, it’s like an acting but the different is they’re acting in a book
not in a television.
Finally, I just hope parents would buy this book for their children because
imagination is a wonderful thing and it’s not something which is just for
children. We need more books like this..
