Thank you Netgalley for the advance reader copy of The Library of Lost Stories by Dr. Tsvika Ben-Porat in exchange for an honest review. What a wonderful and fun story this was. I really enjoyed reading this book and am recommending it to my niece and nephew.
The Library of Lost Secrets takes reader through the journey of completing unfinished stories. Leo happens upon the Library of Lost Secrets and helps the unfinished stories by helping them reach their finale. As you read through each section of the library, the reader learns that each story because of a part of you and makes you the person you are today.
A really neat book for exposing children to the variety found within books. A great classroom read aloud.
Even if you didn’t read the words (definitely do because they are terrific) the pictures included in the stories make you want to climb into the book. I loved this book so much.
This was an absolute joy to read. It was a fairytale about an enchanted library. The story came to life for me as soon as I started reading. I think that for any book lover, places such as bookshop and libraries can seem like very magical places, places of excitement and wonder. The whole time I was reading, I wanted to escape to the enchanted library, and it was a delight to read about it.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review.
I fell into a story as I say the cover and travel and lived different stories. Well plotted and magic
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine
ARC Copy...little hard to read the arc on a normal computer screen but still found the narrative to be magical and whimsical. Yes it's good to see one's life as a bunch of stories acting together as one tapestry-narrative.
Thank you for the ARC of this text. I read it in an e-book format. I wanted to love this text so much because of the very interesting plot. I struggled because the stories he finished seemed very cliche. For the age you you're marketing this text to, my biggest struggle is the high vocabulary doesn't lend itself to the student age group that I would think would enjoy the plot and students would struggle with comprehending vocabulary. I think the number of texts he finishes in the story could be reduced and I think they were fairly generic. I would love to see the author take the bare bones of this text and go back in and add more action and more reason for why he is decided upon changing each specific story. The plot has a fantastic idea and I hope to see more development in future books.
