Book of the Day #5: “The Secret Library” (Magoon)

Title: The Secret Library

Author: Kekla Magoon

Publisher: Candlewick

Pub Date: May 7, 2024

Summary: “Equal parts mystery and adventure—with a biracial child puzzling out her identity alongside the legacy of the past—this masterful middle-grade fantasy rivets with crackling prose, playful plot twists, and timeless themes. A satisfying choice for fans of Kindred and When You Reach Me.”

Review: “The story is full of clever touches, including the librarian’s responsibility to clothe Dally appropriately for each time-travel destination. Her adventures aboard a nineteenth-century treasure-hunting pirate ship are particularly exciting. . . a memorable, original concept within an involving novel.”
—Booklist
