A sparkling fantasy adventure, filled with danger, mystery, magical books, and surprising twists.
Belinda Murrell, author of THE GOLDEN TOWER
The 113th Assistant Librarian combines humour, heart and whimsy with strong themes of family and friendship. The story is cosy and clever, perfect for young fantasy readers and bibliophiles alike.
Samantha-Ellen Bound, author of SEVEN WHEREWITHAL WAY
With a humorous and light touch, Stuart Wilson creates a complex and gripping world . . . The book’s setting is perfect for enthusiastic young readers aged 9+, who will likely find themselves wishing they also lived in this library. For fans of Eoin Colfer or Jessica Townsend’s Nevermoor series, The 113th Assistant Librarian delivers an engaging mystery that reveals how Oliver’s curiosity, love of books and passion for learning make him courageous in his own way.
Fay Helfenbaum, Books+Publishing
This is a fantasy adventure spilling over with exuberance, high drama and a lot of humour as Oliver finds himself muddling his way through becoming a proper librarian and, at the same time, solving a mystery that involves murder – oh, and also why so many cats! I loved it and I can guarantee your readers from around Year 4 will enjoy it just as much.
Sue Warren, Just So Stories
An exciting original fantasy written by a person who loves words, books and ideas . . . I do hope that Oliver and Agatha have some more adventures set in this truly splendid library.
Mia Macrossan, StoryLinks
The book has the satisfying hallmarks of a wondrous fantasy. Most of these are to be discovered by its readers. I will reveal that it is also exciting, affirming, has a maturing protagonist, a clever twist and is easy to read. It’s an epic in a library.
