Lenora - our eleven-year old heroine - escapes from her (luckily) inattentive nanny through a secret arch of her local library and lands in the aforementioned “Library of Ever.” Confronted with a ten-foot tall stern and very pointy librarian who insists that only library employees may enter, she applies for and is immediately granted a job as the 4th Assistant Apprentice Librarian. The book will be published on April 30, 2019.Ī brilliantly imaginative story combining history, science, and the importance of knowledge into a children’s adventure story centered around the most impressive, awesome, majestic, humongous library of all time. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group through NetGalley. Here is a review of the first (and my favorite) in the trifecta! “Zeno Alexander's The Library of Ever reads like someone mixed Neil Gaiman with Chris Grabenstein, then threw in an extra dash of charm.I took a break from all the heavy stuff I’ve been reading and read three wonderful children / YA novels. “Full of whimsy and pluck, The Library of Ever is a total delight!” - New York Times bestselling author Wendy Mass To save the library, Lenora will have to test her limits and uncover secrets hidden among its shelves. She rockets to the stars, travels to a future filled with robots, and faces down a dark nothingness that wants to destroy all knowledge. And Lenora becomes its newly appointed Fourth Assistant Apprentice Librarian. Every book ever written, and every fact ever known, can be found within its walls. Mazelike and reality-bending, the library contains all the universe’s wisdom. With her parents off traveling the globe, Lenora is bored, bored, bored-until she discovers a secret doorway into the ultimate library. The Library of Ever is an instant classic for middle grade readers and booklovers everywhere-an adventure across time and space, as a young girl becomes a warrior for the forces of knowledge.
