The Night Librarian by Christopher Lincoln
4.0

Turner and his twin sister Page are free to roam due to extremely busy parents and an absentee nanny. Their favorite of all destinations is their local library. When Page loses her father’s most prized book, Dracula, at the library they soon find out that there is more to the night librarian than they originally thought.
Following clues, Turner and Page discover that characters from the oldest books can jump from their stories into real life. But if not let out often enough there can be dire consequences. The brother and sister must follow the lead of the night librarian to find their father’s missing book and solve the mystery that could destroy their most valued library.
Overall rating 4/ 5
This was such a great graphic novel that sparks young readers to familiarize themselves with the classics. I truly love how the author introduces and briefly explains classic books while making it interesting and fun for a child. The graphics or drawings were so well done and helped to explain the story in such a unique way. I do like how this book touched on common themes kids struggle with. Such as dealing with self-confidence, loneliness, and teamwork.
