The Forbidden Library kicks off an action-packed fantasy series with classic appeal, a resourceful heroine, a host of magical creatures, and no shortage of narrow escapes--perfect for fans of Story Thieves, Coraline, Inkheart, and Harry Potter
Alice always thought fairy tales had happy endings. That--along with everything else--changed the day she met her first fairy
When Alice's father goes down in a shipwreck, she is sent to live with her uncle Geryon--an uncle she's never heard of and knows nothing about. He lives in an enormous manor with a massive library that is off-limits to Alice. But then she meets a talking cat. And even for a rule-follower, when a talking cat sneaks you into a forbidden library and introduces you to an arrogant boy who dares you to open a book, it's hard to resist. Especially if you're a reader to begin with. Soon Alice finds herself INSIDE the book, and the only way out is to defeat the creature imprisoned within.
It seems her uncle is more than he says he is. But then so is Alice.

Well first I got this book because it looked awesome. So this girl named Alice has to go live with her assuming uncle cause her father died on the way to somewhere, (I can't tell you ,you have to read the book to find out sorry.) Then her uncle has a mansion and she can go anywhere besides the library. So that where I left off.

I especially like all the twists that occur like Ending becoming evil, and if I read this book a thousand times, I don't ever think I get tired of this. I would rate this book 100 out of 5 stars- lizzy gurlThursday, September 10, 2015 at 4:01 pmOK this is just like a book I began to write but a lot different to,
