Description
Two lonely bookworms. An unexpected friendship. A library that needs their help.
Teenager Tom has always blended into the background of life. After a row with his dad and facing an unhappy future at the dog food factory, he escapes to the library.
Pensioner Maggie has been happily alone with her beloved novels for ten years – at least, that's what she tells herself.
When they meet, they recognise something in each other that will change both their lives for ever.
Then the library comes under threat of closure, and they must join forces to prove that it's not just about books – it's the heart of their community.
They are determined to save it – because some things are worth fighting for.
