#blogbookaday: Lyric McKerrigan, Secret Librarian

Summary:

“When an evil genius has a diabolical plan to destroy every book on the planet, who has the tome-toting page power to thwart his dastardly scheme?

Lyric McKerrigan, Secret Librarian! She’s got the gadgets. She’s got the disguises. And she’s always got the right book at the right time. It’s a good thing, too, because Lyric McKerrigan is the world’s last hope!

Jacob Sager Weinstein and Vera Brosgol introduce a smart and crafty heroine who is part comic-book hero, part reader extraordinaire, and wholly awesome. ” (Taken from Goodreads)

Review:

Doctor Glockenspiel has escaped and is threatening to destroy all the books in the world. But, have not fear, Lyric McKerrigan is on the case, ready to save the world and it’s books using the power of stories!

Personal Reaction:

A superhero story about a secret librarian extraordinaire? How could I not love it! Lyric McKerrigan fights injustice, one book at a time as she educates the evil Dr. Glockenspiel’s cronies! This is a fun, comic-style story full of action, adventure, and of course, books. If you’re looking for an unexpected superhero, look no further than Lyric McKerrigan, Secret Librarian!

This is a new idea I’m trying on my blog this year that was inspired by @donalynbooks and @heisereads – to provide a brief review of a picture book every day of 2018. You’ll get a brief summary of the story, a review of the content, illustrations and theme, my personal reaction to the book and all the pertinent publication information! Enjoy!
