Cute book as part of a series. Purchased for our MS library but I think the kids will enjoy this graphic novel. Easy read!

Shay is bored with all the books in the library. They all seem to be about the same thing. Dr. Miller, her school librarian, calls them tropes. So she suggests another book to Shay. It's a story about werewolf that comes out of a book at night. And that is exactly what happens. Luckily, the other book Shay checked out has the The Librarian from the Library of Doom in it and The Librarian comes out of that book to help.

Quick, not to scary graphic novel.

I love this series of books. The Library of Doom books are fun and exciting. They are about kids who need the help of the Librarian. I love the idea of a librarian being the hero of the story and that he helps children that needs him.
