Thanks to her science teacher, Elizabeth is offered a very unusual, new job. She works in a library that lends, not books, but objects. At first, it seems to be fairly straightforward. People check out period clothing for plays, tea sets for entertaining, tools for fixing things, etc. However, Elizabeth soon learns that some of the objects in their collection are not what they seem. She learns that there is a collection in the basement called The Grimm Collection, that holds magical items straight from Grimm fairytales. These items include seven-league boots which allow the wearer to travel seven leagues with one step, a table that creates a huge feast, the mirror that belonged to Snow White's evil step-mother, and much more. These magical items are very powerful, as well as dangerous in the wrong hands, and now these items are starting to disappear. With the help of her coworkers and some magical items, Elizabeth sets out to catch the mysterious thief.
I really enjoyed this book. I felt that the story was a bit rushed in places though. For instance, the conflicts were resolved too quickly, and could have been drawn out a bit more. Overall, it was a fun read that most people would enjoy.
