Where to start with this book...Dahl's story began with an eye roll, got interesting, then ended with a "that's it?"

Somewhere in the universe is a library that should never be used, is protected by The Librarian and a boy who has taken a vow of silence. The library is invaded by what can only be described as ghostly-looking vikings.

The graphics are wonderful and peak the reader's interest, but are unfortunately overshadowed by the questions left in the reader's mind after reading the story.

It's a good story, but it's too short! This story should be a novel with a complete beginning, middle, and end. The highlighting of vocabulary words is annoying to adult and older readers, but many books are doing this these days and comes with the territory of reading children's books. The greatest complaint is that, really, there are more questions than answers which left me frustrated with the author. Five stars for the graphics, but 2 stars for the story.
