Description

When a thirteen-year-old boy gets a “boring” apprenticeship at a magical library, he discovers that books have power, cats are more than they seem, and the most dangerous place in the city has been right under his nose. Perfect for fans of the whimsical, bookish charm of The Lost Library!

"This one's for you, book lovers. Sign me up for a library card ASAP!" —Jeremy Lachlan, author of The Jane Doe Chronicles


Oliver Wormwood is sure his new job in the library will be boring. Until he learns that books hold great power—and danger.

By the end of his first day, Oliver has witnessed a death, been frozen by a book, met a perplexing number of cats, and fought off a horde of terrifying creatures.

With only a mysterious girl called Agatha to show him the ropes, Oliver needs to learn fast if he wants to live longer than the 112 assistant librarians before him.

“Bursting at the seams with imagination, this whimsical adventure becomes more magical (and more dangerous!) with every turn of the page. ”—Amie Kaufman, New York Times bestselling author of the Aurora Cycle
