Standing on the highest point of Moore Island was the library. A converted fort from the civil war, it’s neglect has led to a dangerous decay. Almost forgotten, it has suddenly become the focus of the town’s council. They want to demolish the library and build a mall – and the mafia has even more ambitious plans. Only a few oppose the renovation and the old library seems destined for destruction. But after a tragic car accident involving a beloved teacher, one accident after another befalls the little island. Fear strengthens its grip on the town after the only bridge to the mainland is destroyed. Rumors add to the hysteria as people begin to mysteriously disappear. It is Lance, a high school senior and his two sisters that begin to piece together the real intent of the library. To save the town, they must save the library – but does it want their help? The Library is a multi-level book of old vs. new. At its heart is a reverent nod of respect to authors’ long past. White weaves their inspiration and view on humanity into the common tales of human nature – where there is only one author. "Dracula, Moby Dick and many more of my favorite all-time bad guys and gals, spice things up in Robin White's wonderful young adult debut novel, The LIBRARY." Steve Alten, NY Times Best-Selling author of The MEG series & The LOCH. "'The Library' is a moving debut that celebrates literature and the institutions that champion and protect its legacy. The small town of Moore Island is an apt microcosm for a socially germane tale of commercial greed eclipsing civic interests - and a gallant battle to rebalance the scales. Robin White marshals historic literary characters that will intrigue new readers and be a welcome revisit to those that know them well."
