Children's ✦ Penny’s Take

58/100
👎 Skip It
A fun premise — library books that literally come alive — wrapped around a nice message about setting rivalries aside to save what you love. It's imaginative, but it's self-published with no professional reviews, so I can't vouch for how the execution actually holds up.
