Lost in a Good Book is by Jasper Fforde. The second book in the charming Thursday Next fantasy series. Thursday Next is a renowned agent in the SpecOps literary crimes unit. After her adventure in the Eyre Affair, Thursday hopes to settle down with her husband and prepare for the birth of their first child. Then she is recruited to be a Prose Resource Operative, her time traveling father informs her the world is about to end, and Goliath Corporation eradicates her husband from her current timeline. Thursday must retrieve a vanquished enemy from Poe's "The Raven," save the world from certain destruction, complete her apprenticeship with Miss Havisham, avoid capture by both her own agency and Goliath, and fulfill all of her publicity tour obligations. It's just another day in the life of a literary detective. This series is a total delight, especially for bibliophiles.
Ratings: 9th grade - 8 out of 10.
