Reading is believing.
Pearl can't imagine her life anywhere else than the Lancaster Avenue branch of New York City library, where her mom is the librarian.
Then the head of the statue in the library's garden is stolen, and everything changes. The city decides that if the crime isn't solved or the building isn't extensively repaired, the library- the only home Pearl has ever known- must close.
Luckily, Pearl's not the only one who loves the library like it's family. There's Bruce, the manager and her mom's boyfriend, who's determined to convince the mayor that circulation numbers are on the rise; and Oleg, a boy obsessed with rocks who's certain he can carve a new head for the statue. There's constantly tap-dancing new girl Francine, whose pluck and optimism have Pearl thinking that she might finally understand what all those books about friendship are making such a fuss about.
And what about the resourceful, uniquely skilled raccoons who live in the library basement?
Hard cover.
