The Lost Library - Rebecca Stead, Wendy Maas

When suddenly, one night in the small town of Martinville, a mysterious tiny public library appears out of nowhere (guarded by a large orange cat), eleven-year-old Evan chooses two books from its shelves with obvious signs of time on them, without suspecting for a moment that they are about to change his life forever.
Soon, Evan and his best friend, Rafe, discover a connection between one of the old books and a distant event that all the adults are stubbornly silent about. The two boys begin to ask questions, the answers to which will shape not only their own future but that of their own town.

Stendt and Mas provide all the tools needed to solve the book's multi-layered mystery—but rather than making the revelations too obvious, they create a tempting trail of crumbs, inviting readers to jump into each discovery on their own. Magical, sweetly optimistic, and above all, kind, it reminds us that any book you step into could be the one that changes everything.
