Late one night Alice Creighton hears her father having an argument with a fairy โ€“ a snarling, bald beast with warts and needle-like teeth.

The next day her father disappears, never to return. And Alice is sent to live with Master Geryon, an uncle she never even knew existed.

Geryon has a dark, mysterious library which is strictly off-limits to Alice. But after meeting a talking cat who is willing to sneak her in, Alice opens a book and suddenly finds herself inside it โ€“ and the only way out is by conquering the dangerous creatures within . . .

Django Wexler is the author of flintlock fantasy series The Shadow Campaigns, middle grade fantasy The Forbidden Library, and YA fantasy The Wells of Sorcery. His latest is the fantasy comedy How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying. In his former life as a software engineer, he worked on AI research and programming languages. He currently lives near Seattle with his wife, daughter, four cats, and a teetering mountain of books. When not writing, he wrangles computers, paints tiny soldiers, and plays games of all sorts.

Reviews

Compulsive fantasy with a brave, brilliant heroine. Reminiscent of Corneila Funke's Inkheart and Neil Gaiman's Coraline . . . Wexler ingeniously creates an inventive world with interesting creatures and frightening situations. The Forbidden Library by Django Wexler is a dream come true for book lovers, child and adult alike . . . certainly deserving of becoming a classic in the future. Working in the grand tradition of childrenโ€™s fantasy, Wexlerโ€™s off to a promising start A charming, adventuresome fantasy from a promising new author Will gratify book lovers and fantasy experts alike A refreshing and unique tale โ€“ one that rises above the clichรฉs it could so easily have fallen into โ€“ that entertains on every level. Itโ€™s pitched perfectly to its audience (as well as those who are a few years older...) and, while only time will tell if it becomes a classic, it treats the familiar tropes with care and respect, leaving the reader wanting more after the final page has been turned. This is a brilliant story, and Django Wexler is a name to remember - as if you could forget it! Rich and dense and creative Expand reviews
