BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Tilly and Oskar are determined to stop Melville, the Underlibrarian of the Britsh Underlibrary, and his sister Decima, from completely sealing the Source Books and destroying stories and imagination forever. They hope they can find the help they need with the Archivists – though not even Tilly’s family believe that the Archivists exist. The pair will need a lot of help, a lot of imagination, and a lot of fast thinking to save their beloved stories and all the stories to come. 

You will have to read all the way to the end in order to exult in the brilliant twists of imagination needed to finally solve this thorny problem. I love reading these books that explore the concept of story at its roots. I have started a list on Pinterest
