The Lost Library

Cute and a fast read, but definitely too much telling and not enough showing to really feel like a strong book.

A charming mystery featuring a free little library, and multi POVs including that of a cat name Mortimer, what more could you want?!

This is a lovely middle grade book, that would have hit all my sleuthing buttons a child with even a little sprinkling of cozy spooky, so no scary elements (that was always a deal breaker for me as a young reader).

Highly recommend for the kiddos who like mysteries and books.

***Thank you to Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for providing me with a copy of the audiobook in exchange for an unbiased review.

A little library appears in town and middle schoolers Evan and Rafe discover that it is watched over by a big orange cat. There is some connection between the little library and the old library that burned down a long time ago. There are some ghost librarians in the story. Evan decides to discover who was responsible for burning the library down many years ago. He has a few suspects but no proof.

This was a cute fun read. I really enjoyed the ghosts and the cat's point of views, you even get a few mice points of view. I listened to the audiobook version, and it was very well narrated.
