Cute story, neatly tied together.

“Being a Great Reader has nothing to do with reading great sophisticated books, or reading great long books, or even with reading a great many books.
Being a Great Reader means feeling something about books.” P59

This book wasn't silly, but it wasn't serious either. What would be in between? It has fantastical elements and community and mystery and love. I really enjoyed it. It made me smile and want to read more. It wasn't what I was expecting. It was better.

The Lost Library was a quick and fun read that I am so excited about!

The chapters alternate between characters and are action-packed with mystery and... ghosts.
Evan and his best friend Rife live in Martinville and their lives are about to change, not just because they are graduating from elementary school. A mysterious little free library showed up overnight across from the History House in town. No one knows where it came from, but everyone is interested, especially Evan, who stops by and randomly grabs two books.

Rather than just leading to a new fictional adventure in the pages of those books, Evan finds himself asking more questions than he can find answers to. Those questions soon lead to a massive discovery with a nearly unbelievable plot twist.
