Rebel in the Library of Ever continues Zeno Alexander’s acclaimed middle-grade fantasy series with a dangerous takeover of the magical Library as our heroine fights to make knowledge free for everyone.
Lenora returns to the magical Library―which holds every book ever known on its shelves. But she discovers the Library is under new management, its incredible rooms and corridors turned dark and sinister.
She quickly connects with a secret resistance that’s trying to free knowledge from the shadows threatening it. Her new friends introduce her to an ancient lost city, hang-gliding, and mathematical beings larger than the universe itself. And they help her face the mysterious Board of new leaders―who are leading the Library into darkness.
Now it’s up to Lenora to prove that knowledge is always more powerful than ignorance and fear.

“Further proof that librarians are mighty in all universes.” ―Kirkus Reviews
Praise for The Library of Ever:
“Zeno Alexander’s The Library of Ever reads like someone mixed Neil Gaiman with Chris Grabenstein, then threw in an extra dash of charm. Reading it is like getting lost in an entire library full of books, and never wanting to leave!”―James Riley, New York Times bestselling author of the Story Thieves series
“Full of whimsy and pluck, The Library of Ever is a total delight!”
―Wendy Mass, New York Times bestselling author

Review
This is a fun book that explores the word of libraries with a fun fantasy twist. The second book in the series Rebel in the Library of Ever, follows Lenora who is a librarian, but with a certain twist. The world of libraries in this series is much more complex than you think. They have special powers and the library itself has many magical qualities. The library is put at risk when darker forces are trying to take over the library and change it for their own benefits.
I really enjoy how the parts of the library open up new doors to other worlds (literally and figuratively). When a patron has a question for the librarian they are unable to answer it turns into a greater quest for knowledge. They get to interact with other beings/librarians to help them solve the questions. I haven’t read the first book in the series but i found it easy to follow along with. It’s a great middle grade novel that gets kids and adults alike excited about libraries and books!
Overall I thought this was such a fun book! It was exciting and full of action. It has a lot of twists and turns to keep the reader hooked in into the story. I would continue reading this series for sure!
Final Verdict:

His friendship with the famous librarian, Lenora, has turned into a series of biographical works devoted to chronicling her adventures.
