Description:
SUMMARY: Elizabeth has a new job at an unusual libraryA- a lending library of objects, not books. In a secret room in the basement lies the Grimm Collection. ThatA's where the librarians lock away powerful items straight out of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales: seven-league boots, a table that produces a feast at the blink of an eye, Snow WhiteA's stepmotherA's sinister mirror that talks in riddles. When the magical objects start to disappear, Elizabeth embarks on a dangerous quest to catch the thief before she can be accused of the crimeA-or captured by the thief. Polly Shulman has created a contemporary fantasy with a fascinating setting and premise, starring an ordinary girl whose after-school job is far from ordinaryA- and leads to a world of excitement, romance and magical intrigue.
