“Wexler is an able builder of magical worlds and creatures, with labyrinths, an enchanted library, and a feisty, swashbuckling heroine at the center. A story rich in action and allegory—fantasy fans will want to hang on for what comes next.”—Kirkus
“Full of action and adventure, this tale will enthrall fans of the first novel.”—School Library Journal
“With an original concept, a brave and spirited heroine, and tantalizing incipient relationships among the apprentices (including Alice’s hot-and-cold friendship with Isaac, who tricked her in the first volume), Wexler’s series grows stronger by the book.”—Horn Book
Praise for The Forbidden Library:
“Working in the grand tradition of children’s fantasy, Wexler’s off to a promising start.”—Kirkus
“A charming, adventuresome fantasy from a promising new author.”—Booklist
“Reminiscent of Cornelia Funke’s Inkheart (Scholastic, 2003) and Neil Gaiman’s Coraline (HarperCollins, 2002).”—School Library Journal
