About this ebook
“What if there were a superhero who could give people in trouble the very book they need most?...[A] winning concept…cheeky hilarity.”—Publishers Weekly
A super-secret operative saves the world from a diabolical threat through her ability to brandish just the right book at just the right time in this delightfully silly superhero tale illustrated by an Eisner Award-winner and Caldecott Honoree.
When an evil genius has a diabolical plan to destroy every book on the planet, who has the tome-toting page power to thwart his dastardly scheme? Lyric McKerrigan, Secret Librarian! She’s got the gadgets. She’s got the disguises. And she’s always got the right book at the right time. It’s a good thing, too, because Lyric McKerrigan is the world’s last hope! With lots of humor and a “thrilling, action-packed pace” (Horn Book Magazine), Jacob Sager Weinstein and Vera Brosgol introduce a smart and crafty heroine who is part comic-book hero, part reader extraordinaire, and wholly awesome.
“An exciting escapade with an unlikely hero and a not-so-secret message about the power of books.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Sure to delight budding comic fans, crime fighters, and bibliophiles alike.”—School Library Journal

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When the evil Doctor Glockenspiel escapes from prison and threatens to destroy all of the world's books if his ransom demand isn't met, the secret agents sent to apprehend him meet with abject failure. It falls to Lyric McKerrigan, Secret Librarian, who always knows just the book for every reader, top save the day...For anyone who loves books, and believes that librarians are superheroes, Lyric McKerrigan, Secret Librarian is a story you will want to pick up. With plenty of clever book-recommendation twists - I chuckled at the many ways Lyric used various tomes to defeat the enemy - and fun, cartoon-style artwork from Caldecott honoree Vera Brosgol, this is a sure-fire winner for every young bibliophile and would-be superhero.
