Reading Level: Juvenile
(4 out of 5)
The story revolves around Elizabeth and the New-York Circulating Material Repository. Elizabeth's life is similar to Cinderella's. She lives with her father and stepmother and has two stepsisters. Elizabeth's history teacher tells her about a page position at the repository and she gets the job. Strange things have been going on. A huge bird has been spotted, a page has disappeared, and items have gone missing. Especially items that have magic. Elizabeth, Anajali, Aaron, and Marc take it upon themselves to solve the mystery. This was a fun read.
Speaking as a librarian I think it would be really cool to work at the New-York Circulating Material Repository. The repository lends out objects rather than books. So if you need a fondue pot, a tea set, or Marie Antoinette's everyday wig you can borrow them from the repository. Pretty cool huh! It's also home to the Grimm Collection. Powerful items straight out of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales such as seven league boots, a table that produces a fest in the blink of an eye, and Snow White's stepmothers sinister mirror that talks in riddles.
