The Librarians and the Mother Goose Chase by Greg Cox

5.0

Whimsical fun with Librarians on the run! Greg Cox's second outing with the TV tie-in bests the first in plot, characterization (with winks to the actors' own histories - "you just need... leverage"), and enjoyable prose. There's odes to architecture and math, including a fantastic rap-a-long by a King Cole-ish descendent of "The" Mother Goose, during our intrepid bookish protectors' race to stop a wild-n-crazy crone from restarting the universe by setting Humpty Dumpty up for a great fall. The climatic battle erupts inside an abandoned fairytale amusement park (I remember those from my childhood, now closed and nearly forgotten yet still resonating with the spellbinding allure of make-believe). The full cast is here, brought to vivid life by skillful narrator Therese Plummer. Fans of the TV show will be pleased - yes the violence is a bit more graphic and there's a few wrinkles in the characters' relationships - but the adventure is worth the time to enjoy outside of the regular TV season. Book 3 AND THE POT OF GOLD was just announced for Feb 2018, plenty of time to make room on your to-read-shelf.
