The Grimm Legacy

by Polly Shulman

Summary: When Elizabeth's teacher recommends her for a part-time job as a page at the New York Circulating Material Repository, it doesn't take long for her to realize that this is no ordinary place. Rare and amazing things are stored there, like Marie Antionette's wig, and lucky patrons may borrow these items. After earning the trust of the librarians, she is given a code (a silly little song), and a key (which actually looks nothing at all like a key) that leads to the Grimm Collection. As in the Brothers Grimm. And guess what's there? All of the magical items from the fairy tales! Snow White's mirror, the shoes of the Twelve Dancing Maidens, and so much more. But items have started to disappear. The other pages are all pointing their fingers at each other, but they have to work together to solve the mystery.

My thoughts: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book! Like I haven't loved a book in a long time. I finished it almost all in one sitting, and only put it down (reluctantly) because I had to go somewhere! This is exactly the kind of book I would have loved in middle school. You'll be swept away by the magic in the Grimm Collection!
