Genre: Middle Grade, Fantasy

Elizabeth Rew is a
Highschool student in New York, that just moved to her new school. Due to her
mother's death and her father's remarriage, her family goes through a rough
financial situation. Elizabeth gets recommended a job as a page at “New-York
circulating material repository” to earn some money and to make some friends.
She soon gains access to the Grimm collection and learns that the library is
magic. When some of the items in the Grimm collection go missing, Elizabeth and
some of her new friends must investigate to find out where the stolen objects
are. Can Elizabeth find out where the stolen objects are disappearing to and
find out who is stealing them before the entire Grimm collection disappears and
gets into the wrong hands?
This book is called “The Grimm Legacy” and is
centered around a girl named Elizabeth. Elizabeth is sarcastic, easy to talk
to, and loves fairytales and anything magical. This book reminds me of another
book called “Mr. Lemoncellos library.” Kyle Keely and Elizabeth Rew both go to
a library and discover magical things and objects. I would recommend this book
to ages 11 to 16, since it is light on any violence and there is some romance.
This book met my expectations, and I am looking forward to reading this series.
