The story: The Library controls all knowledge in Jess's world, and his family makes their living on by the black-market smuggling of books to those who can pay. When Jess is sent to be spy in the Library's training school, he learns exactly how much a person's life is worth when they go up against the power and authority of the people who run things. Little does he know that those same people know all his secrets, and they're planning to use him to control and destroy his friends. Can Jess trade everything he's ever wanted just to make good?

Liz's comments: Hand this one to anyone who's ever finished "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"--it's perfect fantasy for 8th grade and up. (Maybe a little too steamy, and a little to dense, for 6th grade. But better readers will eat it up.)
