The Librarians and the Mother Goose Chase by Greg Cox
3.5
This time around, the Librarians are faced with a blast from the past as they realize the stories of their childhood have a lot more magic in them than they previously thought. With an imposter Mother Goose on the loose, the librarians split up to tackle each of the nursery rhymes that seem to have a life of their own.
This was definitely a fun case for the group to solve and I think it was something we didn’t really see much of in the show or in the previous book. The Mother Goose mystery forced each of our young librarians to handle a specific nursery rhyme event on their own and rely solely on their skills and not those of their teammates. I feel like it really allowed the characters to shine in their own way especially with all the varieties of perspective that we received in the book. Additionally, I liked that we go to see new rooms in the library and encounter a few more myths due to a good chunk of the story happening there.
Though we saw clues as to why Mother Goose was trying to put Humpy back together again as the search for the missing pieces of the book went along, I thought the ending was a great twist and really made this mystery even more unique compared to many we’ve seen in the past. Overall, it’s always such a great time being able to experience just a little bit more of this world and I’ll be sad when I have nothing left that is new to explore.
