“It seemed to come from the books themselves, a symphony of hushed voices, each vying for his attention, beckoning him closer.” Can books really speak? Or sing? In Dr. Tsvika Ben-Porat’s The Library of Lost Stories, young Leo is about to enter worlds of unfinished stories, magically beckoning to him in subtle whispers, begging him to make their stories complete, to be the heroes that haunt their pages, to meet with knights and dragons and all manner of magical creatures, as well as explorers and dreamers. He’s on a quest that will teach him about courage and empathy, but, most importantly, this quest will teach him about the importance and the incredible value of a good story.
Dr. Tsvika Ben-Porat’s middle-grade novel, The Library of Lost Stories, is an endearing and exciting adventure that will appeal to young readers who love a good story. There are stories within this story as Leo pursues an endless quest to weave his imagination into one story after another in this magical place, the Library of Lost Stories. Leo quickly immerses himself in the challenge, listening to the pleas from countless books, archived like any ‘normal’ library, but full of unfinished plots. There is magic at play in this library, but, then again, there is magic to be found in every book. It’s a great revelation when Leo discovers the potential found within each story he reads, and each story he completes. It’s a revelation of the power and the countless places each story can potentially transport the reader. These stories are a world of their own, with endings that can be beginnings for yet more stories not yet told; never-ending stories that can lead to so much more if the imagination takes flight. Sit back and enjoy this author’s magical voice as he weaves his own magic into a story, or, perhaps more accurately, multiple stories within a story. The illustrations are spectacular and full of the power of magic and imagination.
