When 11-year-old Alex is sent to the neglected ancient library beneath his school for his detention, he accidentally awakens the ghostly librarian who watches over it. Bound by an enchanted contract, Alex must become her apprentice and master the secrets of the magical library before the Story Eater destroys it all. But learning to control flying books, and deciphering glowing maps isn’t as easy as it seems.
Full of adventure, humor, and heart, The Ghost Librarian’s Apprentice is a spellbinding tale about courage, curiosity, and the magic of stories. Perfect for readers aged 7–12.
