Night at the Museum meets The Land of Stories in this thrilling new graphic novel adventure series in which two siblings, a mysterious Night Librarian, and a motley cast of book characters try to save the New York Public Library

Twins Page and Turner know about the magic a library holds—they’ve been going to their beloved New York City public library for years, especially since their parents are always traveling for work.

But a secret mission involving their dad’s rare and valuable edition of Bram Stoker’s Dracula uncovers a world they’ve never known, featuring a mysterious Night Librarian, famous heroes (and villains) that have broken free from classic books, and an epic battle to save the library from total destruction.

Page and Turner are 10-year-old twins living in New York. With absent parents and a flaky babysitter, they are on their own most of the time and spend most of that time at the New York Public Library. When they take their father’s first edition of Dracula to see if someone at the library can tell them how much it is worth they lose the book but stumble and in searching for it they stumble upon the secrets of the Night Librarians.

This is a fast-moving story, the artwork is atmospheric and fits the tone and mood of each chapter. As the two kids discover the secrets of the night library we meet characters from many classic books and I appreciated the information about titles on some of them. The glimpses into the many classic books mentioned may well tweak the interest of younger readers.   The twins both learn about their own strengths and weaknesses as well as their relationship with their parents. I am not sure if there will be a follow-up but the ending, while wrapping up this story nicely, does leave room for Page and Turner to have many more adventures in the library.
