What would you do if you found a secret in the pages of a book?
Fifth grader Evan McClelland gets more than he expects when he borrows books from a mysterious little free library that appears in his town. It’s not just any library—it’s guarded by Mortimer, a fluffy orange cat, and it hides clues to the biggest mystery Martinville has ever faced: What really happened the night a fire destroyed the town’s library?
With his best friend Rafe by his side, Evan dives into an adventure packed with puzzles, hidden secrets, and even a ghostly librarian named Al, who watches over the little free library from beyond. As the boys uncover the truth, they’ll discover surprising connections to Evan’s own family, a famous author, and a story no one saw coming.
This book is full of exciting twists, clues, and characters you’ll love—like brave, funny Rafe and Evan, who never gives up.
If you’re a fan of stories with friendship, adventure, and surprises, this is one mystery you won’t want to miss!
