Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A warm-hearted, visually intriguing tale of reading and believing, and a world of possibility.
A New York City library branch has been designated for possible closure yet the bookish, socially awkward Pearl, the daughter of the librarian, can't imagine a world without the library. When the head of their Edna St. Vincent Millay statue goes missing, closure is closer than ever. But Pearl is determined to save the library. And with a ragtag neighborhood library crew--including a constantly tap-dancing girl, an older boy she has a crush on, and a pack of literate raccoons--she just might be able to do it.
* Features an eclectic cast of richly drawn characters, frequent sidebars and footnotes
* Classic illustrations by Jessixa Bagley and writing by beloved author Karen Romano Young

Eleven-year-old Pearl Moran cannot imagine life without the historic but under-utilized branch of the New York Public Library where she was born (in the Memorial Room) and where her single mother works as the circulation librarian; the other librarians, the neighborhood people, the raccoons, and most of the 41,000 plus books all form the structure and essence of her life--but when someone cuts off the head of the library's statue of Edna St. Vincent Millay she realizes that the library is under attack, and it is up to her to save it.
