This is a fun novel. I enjoyed the children’s librarian narrator and a well-read 10 year old patron. Lots of children’s lit name dropping which is fun.

The plot moves along, which is good, because it's mostly preposterous. Lucy - who somehow finds herself on a road trip with a 10-year old runaway - is meant to be flaky, I think, which is good, except that her constant self-doubt doesn't do much for her believability.
