"A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! A TODAY SHOW Kids' Read Pick! #1 INDIE BESTSELLER! The Amazon #1 Best Kids' Book An Amazon Best Book of the Month #1 Bestseller, New England and Southern Independent Booksellers Associations (NEBA & SIBA) ""When a makeshift Little Free Library appears on the town green, almost 20 years after the mysterious fire that burned down the town library, the people of Martinville are drawn together once more to not just solve the mystery of the fire but also to decide what it means for their own fates. Mass and Stead employ a rich cast of characters--including ghost librarians, graduating fifth-graders, mice, and a cat--to dive into the heart of Martinville. ... Full of heart, sly narration, and Stead's expected air of mystery, this is well suited for lovers of books and libraries and novels featuring ensemble casts."" --Booklist ""An entertaining, lightly fantastical and supernatural love letter to books, librarians, and Little Free Libraries.... Readers will come away feeling inspired.""--The Horn Book Magazine ""A boy who visits a little free library gets more than he bargained for when he becomes a sleuth caught up in the middle of his town's most enduring mystery.... A page-turner with striking characters and a satisfying puzzle at its heart."" --Kirkus Reviews ""An absolute treasure."" -- Readings Booksellers (Australia) ""Written by two powerhouses of children's literature, Rebecca Stead and Wendy Mass ... Stead and Mass provide all the tools required to solve the book's multilayered mysteries--but rather than make the reveals too obvious, they create an alluring trail of breadcrumbs, inviting readers to leap to each discovery by themselves.... The Lost Library's whimsical simplicity is a delight. It is subtly magical, sweetly optimistic and above all, kind. The Lost Library reminds us that each book contains an entire universe, and the next one you step inside of could be the one that changes everything. The next time one of its readers walks past a little free library, they might just stop to look inside."" --BookPage"
