The cover design grabs your attention, whets your curiosity, and entices you to read this unique book. Elizabeth has a stepmother and two unkind stepsisters. She is in Mr. Mauskopf's social studies class and decides to do a report on the Brothers Grimm. Taking a job at Mr. M's suggestion at the New York Circulating Materials Repository hoping to make new friends as well as some money, she discovers that in addition to lending out objects rather than books, this library houses the Grimm Collection - where powerful, magical items from the Grimm's fairy tales are locked away. Thing have been disappearing, including one of the pages who worked in the repository. What plan is afoot? Can Elizabeth catch the thief before she or her new friends are accused of the crime? Are her friends guilty?
