The Library of Ever by Zeno Alexander

The Library of Ever (The Library of Ever)

by Zeno Alexander

Lenora is having a very frustrating summer while her parents have adventures around the globe-until she discovers a strange doorway in her local library.

It leads to the Library-the ultimate library, filled with all the knowledge of the universe. And Lenora steps right up to become its newest apprentice librarian.

Lenora's new job rockets her across the globe and into outer space, to a future filled with robots, and to a dark nothingness that wants to destroy the library. She quickly learns the only way to save it might be unlocking the knowledge inside its endless shelves. . . .

The Library of Ever is an adventure across time and space, but more importantly across human knowledge, as a young girl discovers what makes books truly magical.

Initial Thoughts: I have to think about this some more. I didn't like it. There's no logic in the story and it's just wild event after wild event with too fast pacing. It's a bit "in your face" with its message about knowledge and libraries. But maybe this is just the thing younger children would like. I can imagine it being a popular lower middle grade book for its target audience, just not one of those books that's good enough to also appeal to older readers.
