Summary:
Enter the Library, where no one knows how the stories end . . . and finding out will be terrifying.
There’s
a place beyond this world, beyond the land of the living, where ghosts
go to write their unfinished stories—stories that ended too soon. It’s a
place for unexplained phenomena: mysteries that have never been solved,
spirits that have never been laid to rest. And there’s only one way in
or out.
It’s called the Library, and you can get there with a
special key. But beware! Don’t start a story you can’t finish. Because
in thislibrary, the stories you can’t finish just might finish you.
Marcus
O’Mara is a 13 year old guy at a crossroads. He constantly finds
himself in trouble at school, with his friends, and with his adoptive
parents. Marcus doesn’t believe things can get any worse for him…until
they get worse.
Much worse.
He begins seeing strange and
impossible visions; gets thrown into paranormal danger and is haunted by
a mysterious ghost with a singular goal: to give him a key.
It’s
a key that opens the door to a mysterious library. When that door
opens, the incredible adventure for Marcus and his friends begins as
they learn the truth about Marcus’ past and uncover the strange world of
unfinished stories that are found on the shelves of the Library.
