Kit can't STAND reading. She'd MUCH rather be outside, playing games and getting muddy, than stuck inside with a book. But when she's dragged along to the library one day by her two best friends, she makes an incredible discovery - and soon it's up to Kit and her friends to save the library... and the world.

Meh. I was hoping for another fun literary themed middle grade fantasy (a la The Bookwanderers), but this one did not deliver for me. It was a little too immature. Definitely lower elementary as opposed to proper middle grade. I was slightly annoyed by the repetition in the narration and commentary about the various characters. It just didn’t really keep my attention and I won’t me reading farther into the series.
