With her brothers and her two best friends she learns about codes to try to solve the mystery of missing rare books at the library. Codes are includes codes for the reader to find out more about the story. This is the second book in a sweet middle grade series that checks so many boxes for me: library setting, historical fiction, based on a true story, evidence of the power of stories, and beautiful and clever book design. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has dreamed of living in a library, but for Viviani Fedeler it was a reality—and in one of the most iconic and historic libraries: NYPL!In this book Viviani is trying to find inspiration for her school’s writing contest while also hunting down clues about a case of rare library books that have gone missing. I solved the mystery very early on, but I am not the target audience, and it was the journey I most enjoyed anyway.I really enjoyed this entertaining story with very endearing characters and a setting that thrilled the book lover in me. I also adored the details like that each chapter heading has a dewey decimal reference and the wonderful illustrations! Young Viviani Fedeler, resident of the New York Public Library, is back with another mystery to solve and an essay contest to win. Although Viviani and her two best friends are making progress on the missing rare library books, she has a slight case of writer’s block. If she wants to win the contest with a trip to the NY Times offices and her essay printed in the newspaper, she’s going to have to look for inspiration everywhere. I love this series! I enjoy reading about the behind the scenes life in the New York Public Library back in the roaring 20’s. Living in and having that magnificent library as a playground would be a dream! I became so captivated in the story, I felt part of it as Viviani and her friends explore that magical place. I recommend this book to anyone who loves libraries, books, history and learning!
