Being one of five brothers isn't easy on Will Woodman. He's in the
upper middle, so he's too young to be in charge and too old to
escape blame through strategic use of cuteness. He and his elder
brother Marty are mortified when their parents decide to drop them
off at the library a few times a week. They're mortified because
Spud Murphy is their town librarian, and she hates children. She
makes youngsters stay in the children's area, which is in front of
a single shelf of kids' books on a small square of carpet. Marty
tests Spud and ends up with a very embarrassing stamp in permanent
ink on his arm. The boys accidentally discover that reading is fun
and quickly exhaust the children's books. When shy Will breaks
library rules in search of a new book, Spud's reaction and Will's
punishment are nothing like he expected. Colfer aims at a younger
audience and hilariously hits the mark. Spud-er, Angela-Murphy is
not a stereotypical librarian by any stretch, and young readers
will hoot over Will's wry narration. (Fiction. 7-12) (Kirkus
Reviews)
Will has four brothers and it's chaos in his house! If he's not
being teased by his big brother Marty, he has to deal with the
terrible, three-headed bundle of cuteness that is his three younger
brothers. Even worse, his mother has the brilliant idea of packing
Will and Marty off to the library during the holidays. She just
doesn't understand! Not only is the library no fun, it's also the
habitat of the legendary librarian Spud Murphy. If you put a foot
wrong, it's rumoured she will use her dreaded gas-powered spud gun
and you don't want that - just ask Ugly Frank how he got his
nickname! Eventually Will and Marty discover a love of books and
that Mrs Murphy isn't so bad after all!
