Ben Lombardi has years of overdue library books stacked up in his wardrobe and under his bed, and the new librarian at Glenbrook Primary School says she knows everything. Everything!
Other kids say she kills you if your book's overdue, she drives a weird car with something mysterious in the back, demands absolute silence in the library and no one wants to end up there alone with her.
When I was a kid this book made me want to read. I was 9ish and a little obsessed with vampires so the cover grabbed me. It was an easy and fun read and opened me up to tween horror fiction. Although my taste has changed (although, I still love horror) I now never go anywhere without a book, and this was the first one I read for interest not forced to for school.
