Ariel Butler | 8 comments There was 3 kids who find a book in a basement. And the book has magic powers. I think the book sends them in time and the young boy has control of the first book and they have to find 3 books.
I don't know the exact year i read this book but know i read it in school, 2010-2019

Or, here is a list of books with magical books. Maybe one of these? https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...

Can you remember anything else? Such as, was it a series, or a single book? Roughly how old were you when you read it? (Middle school, high school?) Were the kids siblings or friends? What country was it set in? Etc.

Ariel Butler | 8 comments Not inkheart was no adult helping them. I think they were siblings. I read it in middle school. It was a series. No idea what country it's from. I just remember it had that Narnia aspect where they left there family and went to some old man house.

Sarah | 35 comments Ok, two other possibilities with plots that are similar to what you've described.

The Wild Book
The Wishing Spell

If not those, other details that might be helpful if you can recall them: Roughly how old were the kids?
You said an adult was helping them. Grandparent type? Parent? Teacher?
One child was a boy, what about the other two?
Any details you can remember about the cover (color, images, etc.)?
You said you read it in school, what is an assignment? Or for fun?

I'd also recommend adding some of the details from your comments to the header (it helps more people who might know the book see it easier)

Capn | 3506 comments Agreed - you can update your header on a desktop, or on a phone if you choose the desktop version (but not on the App, unless they've updated it very recently). ;)

A list you could browse, too:

Ariel Butler | 8 comments The wishing spell is a great book. Chris Colfer is a great author. Don't know if it's that book. Pretty sure there were three kids and a magic book for each kid. The first book The little boy was the target for the book. I think there were 2 girls and one boy and they were all young like in the early teens. THERE WAS NO ADULT HELPING THEM. don't remember the cover sadly. Was for fun. What should I add to the header.
