Publisher's Synopsis
A warm-hearted, visually intriguing tale of reading and believing, and a world of possibility.
A
New York City library branch has been designated for possible closure
yet the bookish, socially awkward Pearl, the daughter of the librarian,
can't imagine a world without the library. When the head of their Edna
St. Vincent Millay statue goes missing, closure is closer than ever. But
Pearl is determined to save the library. And with a ragtag neighborhood
library crew-including a constantly tap-dancing girl, an older boy she
has a crush on, and a pack of literate raccoons-she just might be able
to do it.
Features an eclectic cast of richly drawn characters, frequent sidebars and footnotes
Classic illustrations by Jessixa Bagley and writing by beloved author Karen Romano Young
