Book Description

Wesley Bates thinks his life pretty much sucks. He's landed at the bottom of his school's popularity ladder, and bully Randy Stanford seems to be waiting around every corner.

The troubled teen thinks he's found a way to escape his real-world problems when he stumbles upon strange doorways in Astoria's local library that seem to lead into the extraordinary worlds from all his favorite books. Oz, Neverland, Wonderland -- they're all a reality with Wesley's new discovery. Wesley teams with best friend Taylor Williams to embark on a great adventure, both ready to leave the drama of middle school behind.

But the two kids quickly find themselves embroiled in a centuries-old battle for the library and the magic hiding within. Now, fighting alongside the eccentric old man who's vowed to protect the building's power, the pair must help ward off an attack by a shadowy group with a strange tie to Wesley's nemesis, forcing Wesley to face the fears he's been dodging... and one of the most terrifying bullies of all time!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic THRILL RIDE for Kids !! October 9, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Traveling to different worlds is nothing new in children's literature; it's a tried-and-true scenario sure to capture the interest of young readers. But reading The Librarian provides kids with an out-of-this-world adventure that feels fresh yet familiar.

Hobbs demonstrates his talent as a writer as he seamlessly weaves together a captivating story that mixes the adventure of Percy Jackson with the dark fantasy of Harry Potter -- not to mention a whole lot of Wizard of Oz.

This is going to be the next big kids' series!! My granddaughter loved it, and I can't recommend it enough!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great beginning to a series November 1, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really liked this book. It is a unique (to me, at least) take on children's stories. I really like Wesley, the main character, because he is so real. Any kid who has been bullied will be able to relate to him.

Good book, and I can't wait for the next in the series.

Edit--- I upgraded my rating from a 4 star to a 5 star after the author re-released the book as a clean version (and deleted the part of my review that concerned the language). As the language was the ONLY issue I had with the book, it definitely warrants the 5 star rating now. Thank you so much for listening to your readers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing October 27, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you loved "The Neverending Story" this book is for you. It captivates and leads us to wonder what's next. I received it free but it's one I'd willingly pay for to read the next books.
