’On his twelfth birthday, Archie, an English orphan, is summoned to a formerly unknown magical world where he is destined to fight the powers of darkness—in this case, Barzak, an evil magician who supposedly burned down the Great Library of Alexandria to possess a collection of spell books. In his new life, Archie joins a warm, eccentric extended family of Flame Keepers (aka librarians) at the Museum of Magical Miscellany, hidden beneath the famous Bodleian Library at Oxford University. The book excels in its lighthearted celebration of bibliomancy, with Archie apprenticed to learn the secrets of “finding, binding, and minding” books of power—especially the one that accompanied his own invitation to the museum. This particular volume has waited 400 years for Archie to turn up. Why? And is it for good or for evil? In a series of thrilling adventures, Archie and his new cousins must risk everything to protect the museum against the Greaders, followers of Barzak bent on misusing books of magic to dominate the world.’ Booklist (US pre-publication review)
’In his first book for children, Everest launches a fanciful series about a secret organization dedicated to protecting the legacy of the Library of Alexandria. When Archie Greene turns 12, he receives a mysterious package: an ancient book, with instructions to return it to a certain bookstore. There, he’s inducted into the Flame Keepers as an apprentice bookbinder and introduced to the Museum of Magical Miscellany, where magical books are stored. As he becomes acquainted with the wonders and perils of his new role, he gets to know the cousins he never knew existed. But the Flame Keepers have enemies—such as the Greaders, who want the books’ magic for themselves—and ominous events suggest that a traitor is working to release a long-imprisoned evil. Only Archie, with his newfound ability to speak with books, can save the day. Many of the novel’s elements are familiar (a hidden, magic-based society; a predestined hero with a special power), but Everest uses them to deliver a fast-paced tale full of mystery and excitement. Ages 8–12.’ Publishers Weekly (US pre-publication review)
