Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Book Store / Robin Sloan / 288 pages

Books and Google play major roles in this entertaining tale. Easy but fun read especially for a librarian who reads books via the actual "printed" page, e-readers and audio. And who has moved from the old CARD catalog, multi-volume encyclopedias and vertical files to the online catalog, databases and search engines such as Google. Robin Sloan offers the opinion that there is value in both. Marketed for the adult reader, but would be great for high school students as well. Winner of the 2013 ALA Alex Award.
