For thirteen years Maddie Palmer has sat by the window, never leaving the house, getting the news of the day from her younger brother, Keith. For thirteen years she has buried her memories-of the dark fortress of the Town Library, which casts its long shadow over Pridebridge, and what happened there so long ago. But when Keith is forced to work in the secret cavern of the library, Maddie must leave her familiar prison behind-or risk losing her brother for good. Thomas Bloor's first novel, reminiscent of Louis Sachar's Holes and Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, is at once very funny and strangely poignant, as tantalizing and mysterious as Maddie herself.

The memory prisoner
I don't remember the last time I read a book in one day, but considering this was probably written for 10 year olds, it's not really a big deal. This book had a great premise, but it was very strangely executed. I don't remember the last time I was so thoroughly unattached to the main character. Sure, it was nice that she wasn't "typical," but she was so far from typical it was noticeable. There were multiple times I was disgusted by her. And the moral the author was going for, while admirable, was almost lost in the odd storyline. It was how I imagine a book written by Tim Burton would probably read. There are far more superior books for your young reader to enjoy. Don't let them waste their time on this one.
