Elizabeth is recommended for a job at the New York Circulating Materials Repository by one of her teachers. As Elizabeth begins her job, she finds that there are some strange people working there and strange people coming in to check out some strange materials. She soon finds that her new place of employment is not a library per say, it is a place where things can be checked out and borrowed. She soon finds that there is a section that is called the Grimm collection which is where items form the famous Grimm brothers are housed - items that are filled with magic. When things start to disappear and magical items are returned without any magic left, Elizabeth and her friends begin a quest to find out what is happening to the famous Grimm collection items.
This week the books that are listed to read are form the fantasy genre. A fantasy novel would be a book that is believable in the context of the story but where magic is involved. These stories have a well established setting and characters that are true to themselves. So, basically, the story is believable with solid characters that are trying to do the right thing with elements that are not normal. The three books that I read this week all have a well established setting; all have characters that are trying to do the right thing and make their situation right; and all have elements outside of the main characters that they have to overcome to conquer their situation.
This genre is fun to read and isn't hard for the reader to imagine the story ad stetting since the characters are so true. It isn't a stretch of the mind for the reader to imagine what is taking place in the story in a fantasy novel. For a good read and a fun story with really good characters, pick one of the following stories and enjoy your new world.
