OverviewSoon to be an off-Broadway musical! In this delightful companion novel to Off the Page, #1 New York Times bestselling authors Jodi Picoult and her daughter and cowriter, Samantha van Leer, present a novel filled with romance, adventure, and humor in a story you'll never forget. What happens when happily ever after...isn't? Delilah is a bit of a loner who prefers spending her time in the school library with her head in a book--one book in particular. Between the Lines may be a fairy tale, but it feels real. Prince Oliver is brave, adventurous, and loving. He really speaks to Delilah. And then one day Oliver actually speaks to her. Turns out, Oliver is more than a one-dimensional storybook prince. He's a restless teen who feels trapped by his literary existence and hates that his entire life is predetermined. He's sure there's more for him out there in the real world, and Delilah might just be his key to freedom. A romantic and charming story, this companion novel to Off the Page will make every reader believe in the fantastical power of fairy tales.

Table of ContentsReviewsAn exceedingly clever concept that would be challenging to pull off, if not for the deep understanding of character, plot and pacing provided by Picoult... Conceptually, Between the Lines is reminiscent of the Toy Story movies... An exploration of the nature of escapism that asks whether reality is any more real than make-believe, Between the Lines will delight readers of all ages whose imaginations willfully blur that distinction. <p> --Los Angeles Times <p><p><p><p><p> Copyright (c) 2012, Los Angeles Times Between the Lines is a romance between a girl and a boy, but even more, it's a love letter to the visceral bond between a reader and a musty, beloved book.... The fictional Between the Lines is funny and unexpected...and it's fascinating to watch the authors address the problem of what it would be like to live not just in a story, but in a physical book... -- The Washington Post A clever YA romance about the magical relationship between a loner and her fictional Prince Charming. Elements from Picoult's other novels--alternating character viewpoints with distinguishing fonts, snappy chapter endings--are present, and the story is peppered with pop culture references to The Hunger Games, the Kindle Fire, and the X-Men, as well as comic relief in the form of characters like a talking horse that thinks it has a weight problem. Readers...will be swept up by the romantic premise. -- Publishers Weekly Author InformationJodi Picoult received an AB in creative writing from Princeton and a master's degree in education from Harvard.
