The Night Librarian: Midnight Mayhem: A Graphic Novel

When book villains come alive and try to rewrite their stories, it’s up to a pair of spunky twins to save their favorite books in this magic-filled companion to bestseller The Night Librarian

It's only been a few months since twins Page and Turner saved their beloved New York Public Library from a storybook villain come to life, and their life is...a little boring. Sure, they're in training to become magical Night Librarians, but so far their apprenticeship has involved an awful lot of book dusting and shelf tidying.

But mayhem is just around the corner! When Page and Turner are invited to the Library of Congress, they discover that someone has been stirring up storybook antagonists. Now, Page and Turner must journey into their favorite books and face off with villains—both real and fictional—before the stories they love are lost forever.
