A magical tale of friendship, the joy of reading, and the power of the imagination!
When Oliver finds a lost library book fluttering behind a secret door in his bedroom, he knows he must return it. But when he does, a mysterious world opens up beneath his feet, taking Oliver, his new friend Rosie, and the book in tow. What--or who--will they find waiting in this strange new place? And how will they escape?
A beautiful, lyrical take on the imaginative power of books and the transformative power of friendship.

Praise For…
Praise for The Lost Library:
“Arched bookcases, deep blue and purple hues, and full-bleed spreads create a sense of the fantastical that’s just scary enough to be exciting, while plenty of reassuring touches indicate Oliver and Rosie’s eventual, safe escape. [A]n enthralling storytime.” –The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"An imaginative adventure and friendship story bound together by the love of books and libraries." –Kirkus
