Praise for The Lost Library:“Arched bookcases, deep blue and purple hues, and full-bleed spreads create a sense of the fantastical that’s just scary enough to be exciting, while plenty of reassuring touches indicate Oliver and Rosie’s eventual, safe escape. [A]n enthralling storytime.” –
The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"An imaginative adventure and friendship story bound together by the love of books and libraries."
