After Elizabeth writes a research paper on the Grimm Brothers, her social studies teacher helps her get a job at the New York City Circulating Repository. Elizabeth thinks this might be her chance to make friends and extra cash. She soon learns that the Repository is not a normal library as she first believed. It lends out objects-such as tea sets or wig worn by Marie Antoinette. The Repository also houses the Brothers Grimm collection in a secret room in the basement. Magical items- such as the mirror from the Snow White tale or the seven-league boots- are housed in that room. But just as Elizabeth accepts and believes these items are magical, they begin to disappear. When a fellow page disappears, Elizabeth and her friends embark on an adventure to find their friend and the missing Grimm objects. The humor, suspense, romance, and magic found in this book made it a joy to read. It is well-written and I highly recommend checking-it out.
