SOLVED. Princess knows she’s in a book, talks to reader character. [s]

[Kalian]

SPOILERS The book is about a princess in a book and she knows she’s in a book and likes her reader. I think the readers name is Clare? Clare’s brother sets the book on fire because he wants it to be like a Pirate map. Clare grows up and stops reading the book and then gives it to her daughter. Please help it’s bothering me. I read this in 2009 but the book was fairly old.

I think this is The Great Good Thing by Roderick Townley. The reader's name in that one is Claire.
