The New York Times bestselling authors of Bob, Rebecca Stead and
Wendy Mass, introduce readers to a little free library guarded by a
cat and a boy who takes on the mystery it keeps. When a mysterious
little free library (guarded by a large orange cat) appears
overnight in the small town of Martinville, eleven-year-old Evan
plucks two weathered books from its shelves, never suspecting that
his life is about to change. Evan and his best friend Rafe quickly
discover a link between one of the old books and a long-ago event
that none of the grown-ups want to talk about. The two boys start
asking questions whose answers will transform not only their own
futures, but the town itself. Told in turn by a ghost librarian
named Al, an aging (but beautiful) cat named Mortimer, and Evan
himself, The Lost Library is a timeless story from award-winning
authors Rebecca Stead and Wendy Mass. It's about owning your truth,
choosing the life you want, and the power of a good book (and, of
course, the librarian who gave it to you).
