Stories can be powerful. In 1719, Elizabeth Goose of Boston Massachusetts published a collection of rhyming spells as a children's book, creating a spellbook of terrifying power. The Librarian of that age managed to dispose of all copies of the book except one, which remained in the possession of Elizabeth Goose and her family, temporarily averting any potential disaster.
However, strange things are happening, A window washer in San Diego who was blown off his elevated perch by a freak gust of wind, but miraculously survived by landing on a canopy over the building entrance. A woman in rural Pennsylvania who was attacked by mutant rodents without any eyes. And, a college professor in England who somehow found herself trapped inside a prize pumpkin at a local farmer’s market. Baird and her team of Librarians suspect that the magic of Mother Goose is again loose in the world, and with Fynn Carson AWOL once again, it is up to Cassandra, Ezekiel, and Stone to track down the missing spellbook before the true power of the rhymes can be unleashed.

I am a die hard fan of this tv series. Ever since the movies, we have watched it. When I learned there were books out, I jumped on that bandwagon faster than you can say, librarians lol. This is the second book in this series and it didn't disappoint. I think because this is from a tv series that you will be able to see everything as it comes to pass in this book. I loved the characters and had a great time along with them during this new adventure. I can't wait for the next one.
You really cant tell that you are reading a story in a book. The author did a wonderful job making these characters sound and act just like they do in the show. They work seamlessly together as a team. I do think that the POVs slowed it down and made it just a little much to follow. I think it would have been a little better if it would have just been an overall view.
If your a fan of the seires this is something you should read and if you havent seen the tv show this will get you to want to.
