The New York Times bestselling authors of Bob, Rebecca Stead and Wendy Mass, introduce young listeners to a little free library guarded by a cat and a boy who takes on the mystery it keeps.
When a mysterious little free library (guarded by a large orange cat) appears overnight in the small town of Martinville, eleven-year-old Evan plucks two weathered books from its shelves, never suspecting that his life is about to change.
Evan and his best friend Rafe quickly discover a link between one of the old books and a long-ago event that none of the grown-ups want to talk about. The two boys start asking questions whose answers will transform not only their own futures, but the town itself.
Told in turn by a ghost librarian named Al, an aging (but beautiful) cat named Mortimer, and Evan himself, The Lost Library is a timeless story from award-winning authors Rebecca Stead and Wendy Mass. It’s about owning your truth, choosing the life you want, and the power of a good book (and, of course, the librarian who gave it to you).

"The whole galaxy might not be big enough for the two of them.
Robin has a bad habit of getting into trouble—and a better habit of getting out of it (barely). He lives on an isolated outpost in the middle of nowhere and has no idea why his parents disappeared
years ago. Then a strange delivery arrives at his doorstep, and the past is suddenly very present.
Marian was raised to be a very powerless girl in a very powerful family. But that hasn’t stopped her from making her own adventures—and trespassing in some places her parents definitely
don’t want her to see. She has no idea what life would be like outside of her home—until a mysterious invitation forces her to leave everything behind.
Robin and Marian have lived very different lives in very different places. Their paths should never, ever cross—but before they know it, they are thrown together on a quest that requires legendary
bravery, quick-witted escapes, and the ability to … get along with each other.
The sky’s no longer the limit on what Robin and Marian can do— as long as they manage to do it together."
"When you’re stuck with the name Beauty, people expect a lot from you—like beauty and grace
and courage and a sense of style. But what if you have none of these things? What if all you like to do
is read books and search for odd objects that other people drop? Oh, and you have a perfect older
sister who really should have had your name instead of you.
And when you’re a prince, you’re supposed to be athletic and commanding and brave and tall. But
what if you are none of those things? What if all you like to do is play the bagpipes (badly), study the
stars, and try to figure out how to make worms live forever? Oh, and you also have a perfect older
brother who is a lot more princely than you’ll ever be.
But when Beauty’s life turns completely upside down and she is forced to head out into the world, she
has to figure out just who she wants to be. And when Prince Riley suddenly grows fur, and nails as sharp as
sticks, he has to learn that appearances can be deceiving. Before Beauty and Riley can save each other,
they have to save themselves.
So journey back to the time when fairy tales were real, and discover the story of Beauty and the
Beast like you’ve never heard it before."
"The girl’s been asleep for a hundred years.
The boy’s got issues of his own.
There are two sides to every story …
It’s not easy being Princess Rose. Especially when a fairy curses you and you find yourself avoiding
all sharp objects … and then end up pricking your finger anyway, causing you to slumber for a
hundred years.
And it’s not easy being The Prince. Especially when your mother has some ogre blood and tends
to chow down at the most unfortunate moments. A walk in the woods would help, you think. Until
you find a certain hidden castle … and a certain sleeping princess. Happily ever after? Not until
the prince helps the princess awaken … and brings her home to Mother.
Journey back to the days when fairy tales were true with this fun and fresh spin on a timeless tale!"

Both Rapunzel and Prince Benjamin are trapped--in very different ways. Once their paths cross, well, that's when things get really strange."
