Today we discuss The Books of Elsewhere: The Shadows by Jacqueline West. When eleven-year-old Olive and her dippy mathematician parents move in to a crumbling Victorian mansion, she knows there’s something odd about the place—not the least the walls covered in strange antique paintings. But when Olive finds a pair of old spectacles in a dusty drawer, she discovers the most peculiar thing yet: she can travel inside these paintings to a world that’s eerily like her own.
