And secret, too - for in the repository's basement lies the Grimm Collection, a room of magical items straight from the Grimm Brother's fairy tales. But the magic mirrors and seven-league boots and other items are starting to disappear. And before she knows it, she and her fellow pages - handsome Marc, perfect Anjali, and brooding Aaron - are suddenly caught up in an exciting, and dangerous, magical adventure.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A richly imagined adventure with easy appeal for Harry Potter fans." - "Booklist"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Polly Shulman has written about edible jellyfish, Egyptian tombs, infinity, blind dates, books, brains, centenarians, circuses, and cinematic versions of Jane Austen novels, for <i>The New York Times, </i> <i>Discover, </i> <i>Newsday, </i> <i>Salon, </i> <i>Slate, </i> <i>Scientific American, </i> <i>Archaeology, </i> and <i>The Village Voice, </i> among others.
