The Forbidden Library - Django Wexler

nThe Forbidden Library kicks off a brand new classic fantasy series perfect for fans of Coraline, Inkheart, and The Books of Elsewhere nAlice always thought fairy tales had happy endings. That--along with everything else--changed the day she met her first fairy.n n nWhen Alice's father disappears in a shipwreck, she is sent to live with her uncle Geryon--an uncle she's never heard of and knows nothing about. He lives in an enormous manor with a massive library that is off-limits to Alice.

But then she meets a talking cat. And, even for a rule-follower, when a talking cat sneaks you into a forbidden library and introduces you to an arrogant boy who dares you to open a book, it's hard to resist. Especially if you're a reader to begin with.

Soon Alice finds herself INSIDE the book, and the only way out is to defeat the creature imprisoned within. n nIt seems Uncle Geryon is more than he says he is. But then, so is Alice.n
