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…
The Lost Library is a book filled with mysteries that will keep readers guessing. This narrative slowly reveals itself from many different perspectives. Evan, a school student, is trying to find the reason for a deadly fire that happened at the library years before he was born. He investigates by solving clues and breaking many rules in pursuit of answers. It is a great story for those who are curious and like mystery and adventure books. I think this book is suitable for everyone in Grades Five and Six.
