The Forgotten Library

Jared and Paige Henry live in the sleepy little town of Sleepy Hollow, and their lives are fairly sleepy. Until one morning, when odd things begin to happen around their house. Slippers leave themselves on steps and turn to gold. Gingerbread men run away. Pumpkins glow and start to grow wheels. And mom starts acting like a wicked stepmother. Meanwhile, at school, the librarian, Mrs. Beatty is having fiction books hauled off the Media Center shelves for corrupting children’s minds. At first the Henrys think there is no connection between the strange events in their home and the ominous events at school. But they are soon pulled into a world of secret societies, alternate dimensions, and secret identities—and their own home becomes the target of a plot to destroy the world’s oldest stories! This novel, draft in three days by 13 students at Stetson University’s HATS Program, will entertain and amuse you—and make you think about the importance of books!
