Guardian Colonel Eve Baird and the Librarians, Jake Stone,
Ezekiel Jones, and Cassandra Cillian are facing their oddest
situation yet. The Clipping Books have sent them off in
various directions where unusual events are occurring, all
of them seemingly related to the Mother Goose fairytales.
Meanwhile, Librarian Flynn Carson is missing. Now they are
in a race against time to stop a mysterious Mother Goose
figure from reuniting the various portions of an old and
dangerous spell book or risk seeing the old stories come to
life.
I love the Librarians!
Greg Cox portrays the characters so vividly that you can
easily envision their various personalities. Ezekiel and
Jacob are still my favorite characters, but Cassandra really
steps things up a notch in THE LIBRARIANS AND THE MOTHER
GOOSE CHASE.
And oh... the mystery behind Mother Goose is just pure fun!
I love how Greg Cox makes us look at the Mother Goose rhymes
in a whole new light. The alternate and extra verses are
nothing short of entertaining. And yes, I already thought
Humpty Dumpty was a bit creepy, but Greg Cox convinced me
that Humpty is only slightly less creepy than clowns!
THE LIBRARIANS AND THE MOTHER GOOSE CHASE is the second book
in the Librarians
series and is based on the characters from the television
series by the same name. Readers do not have to be familiar
with the television series to appreciate THE LIBRARIANS AND
THE MOTHER GOOSE CHASE, but you'll definitely want to dive
into it after reading this. Greg Cox captures the flavor of
the series perfectly! I can't wait to read and watch more
of the Librarians!
The Librarians and the Mother Goose Chase, an original novel based on the hit television show, The Librarians by New York Times bestselling author, Greg Cox. For millennia, the Librarians have secretly protected the world by keeping watch over dangerous magical relics. Cataloging and safeguarding everything from Excalibur to Pandora’s Box, they stand between humanity and those who would use the relics for evil. Stories have power. In 1719, Elizabeth Goose published a collection of rhyming spells as a children's book, creating a spellbook of terrifying power. The Librarian of that age managed to dispose of all copies of the book except one, which remained in the possession of Elizabeth Goose and her family, temporarily averting any potential disaster. Now, strange things are happening around the world. A tree-trimmer in Florida is blown off his elevated perch by a freak gust of wind, a woman in rural Pennsylvania is attacked by mutant rodents without any eyes, and a college professor in England finds herself trapped inside a prize pumpkin at a local farmer’s market. Baird and her team of Librarians suspect that the magic of Mother Goose is again loose in the world, and with Flynn AWOL—again—it is up to Cassandra, Ezekiel, and Stone to track down the missing spellbook before the true power of the rhymes can be unleashed.
