Elizabeth has a new job at an unusual library—a lending library of objects, not books. In a secret room in the basement lies the Grimm Collection. That’s where the librarians lock away powerful items straight out of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales: seven-league boots, a table that produces a feast at the blink of an eye, Snow White’s stepmother’s sinister mirror that talks in riddles.

When the magical objects start to disappear, Elizabeth embarks on a dangerous quest to catch the thief before she can be accused of the crime—or captured by the thief.

Polly Shulman has created a contemporary fantasy with a fascinating setting and premise, starring an ordinary girl whose after-school job is far from ordinary—and leads to a world of excitement, romance and magical intrigue.

read it 3 times! Love 2 read, read this book!

This book was awesome I have to keep reading it again and again. Its so cool how they put teenage kids in a situation that sounds like it came straight out of the Grimm Brothers books.

I love how all of the grimm stuff is real and most of it works! Sometimes I wish I could live in a book's world......

I like this book because it is so fantastical. My favorite part was the quiz that they had to take and when they had to sort the objects(Well, that was part of the quiz, but...).

My friend offered this book to me and she always recommends good books so I decided to read it. The beginning was kind of mysterious so I know it is going to be a good book.

Friends usually have great taste in what you would want to read.

I wanted to read this book because it was about mystery and I just adore mystery books. I started reading this book recently and I am only on chapter 6, but that was enough to get me totally hooked!
