A middle-grade fantasy about a magical library with every book ever written on its endless shelves--and Lenora, its newest, youngest, most adventurous librarian.

Lenora is having a very frustrating summer while her parents have adventures around the globe--until she discovers a strange doorway in her local library.

It leads to the Library--the ultimate library, filled with all the knowledge of the universe. And Lenora steps right up to become its newest apprentice librarian.

Lenora's new job rockets her across the globe and into outer space, to a future filled with robots, and to a dark nothingness that wants to destroy the library. She quickly learns the only way to save it might be unlocking the knowledge inside its endless shelves . . .

The Library of Ever is an adventure across time and space, but more importantly across human knowledge, as a young girl discovers what makes books truly magical.

The Library of Ever:

"Unusually clever in the details and commendably accurate in its own way." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Purchase for larger libraries, for passionate library fans, or to spark early conversations about intellectual freedom." --School Library Journal

"Lenora's journey through [the library] is full of delightful, internet-hole inspiring tidbits; an ancient Egyptian city devoted entirely to the worship of cats, the ins and out of ant communication, and the lost languages Linear A and Linear B are just a few of the subjects of Lenora's searches that may send readers off on journeys of their own." --The Bulletin

"This book is for every person who has ever believed that libraries are magic; and anyone who has spent enough time in one knows that libraries aren't just for books." --Booklist

After emerging from the shadows of the past, his history yet to be fully explained, Zeno Alexander spent years exploring the world's libraries before settling down in his lavish underground bunker, where he regularly hosts exquisite dinner parties and tends to his collection of extinct plants. His friendship with the famous librarian, Lenora, has turned into a series of biographical works devoted to chronicling her adventures.
