The Lost Library

Product Information

Once in a generation, a collection of books and manuscripts appears from almost nowhere that is met with a mixture of awe and stunned silence, followed by concerted action to bring it into public ownership,” said John Scally, trustee of the FNL and national librarian and chief executive of the National Library of Scotland. “The UK-wide consortium is determined to raise the funds to ensure we can save the Honresfield library for everyone to share and enjoy.” In the Life of Antony, Plutarch recounts a story of Antony taking away 200,000 of Pergamon’s volumes, intended as a gift for Cleopatra, which accounted for the vast majority of the library’s collection. It has also been argued that the donation may have been intended to replace materials from the Library of Alexandria that had been damaged during Caesar’s earlier visit. There are several mysteries that make up this story. They were all predictable from the first portion of the book aside from one. I’m not sure if this would be the case for younger readers, but the clues/hints/foreshadowing were too obvious to keep these things from staying mysteries. Despite that, the characters and the story were well written. I loved the concept and how it centered around a Little Free Library (common throughout the U.S.), as well as the charming exploration of how a love of reading can unite people. I've been here for a year now, and I've started to make friends with the local townspeople. It sure feels great! And they're sending me gifts and secret family recipes in the mail, too! That's really helpful.

There's a delightful twist that I should have figured out the moment the first clue to its coming appeared but I didn't until about halfway through the book. It's an intelligent book for children and one I'll recommend to my bestekids! 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. Perhaps why this resonated so much with me is that it was essentially about a library - how it brings lives together in the most unsuspecting of way..
