Publisher Description
Elizabeth has just started working as a page at the New York Circulating Material Repository - a lending library of objects, contemporary and historical, common and obscure. And secret, too - for in the repository's basement lies the Grimm Collection, a room of magical items straight from the Grimm Brother's fairy tales. But the magic mirrors and seven-league boots and other items are starting to disappear. And before she knows it, she and her fellow pages - handsome Marc, perfect Anjali, and brooding Aaron - are suddenly caught up in an exciting, and dangerous, magical adventure.

"I love this book so much! It's the companion book to The Grimm Legacy, but honestly you don't have to read them in order (there are a few spoilers at the end and throughout the book, but nothing too major). I can't wait to read the future books in this series."
— Emily (5 out of 5 stars)

The Grimm Legacy Listener Reviews

" I absolutly loved it! "
— Dragon Girl, 9/11/2013 -
" I read this, not having read the companion book, The Grimm Legacy, and it was fantastic. Lots of fun - I'd say Back to the Future meets The Apothecary. It made me want to read H.G. Wells. "
— Liza, 1/24/2013 -
" This was a great follow up to The Grimm Legacy. "
— Katherine, 12/20/2012 -
" I really enjoyed the first book in this series and this second one didn't let me down. This one was about science fiction rather than fairy tales and just as much fun. "
— Elsa, 8/13/2012 -
" Enjoyed the sf aspect as much as the fantasy in the original book! This library would be a great place to work! "
