Books Descriptions
In a slightly fantastical New York City, one very special
library branch has been designated for possible closure.
Bookish, socially awkward Pearl, the daughter of the librarian,
can't imagine a world without the library?its books, its
community of oddballs, its hominess. When the head of their
Edna St. Vincent Millay statue goes missing, closure is closer
than ever. But Pearl is determined to save the library. And
with a ragtag neighborhood library crew?including a constantly
tap-dancing girl who might just be her first friend, an older
boy she has a crush on, and a pack of raccoons who can read and
write?she just might be able to. With an eclectic cast of
richly drawn characters, a hint of just-around-the-corner
magic, footnotes, sidebars, and Jessixa Bagley's classic
illustrations throughout, this warm-hearted, visually
magnificent tale of reading and believing from beloved author
Karen Romano Young tells of a world where what you want to
believe can come true.Age Range: 9-12 years
