Realize just how fun surviving an alien attack could be as a ridiculous situation meets hilarious tips and suggestions.

Library page Baru Reddy loves horror stories so when the T. Middleton Nightengale City Library transforms into a ruined gothic cathedral complete with authors Mary Shelley, Ann Radcliffe, and Charlotte Bronte, not to mention a host of zombie monks, he is not as alarmed as his fellow pages; he just needs to figure out a way to bring Mary Shelley's creation (made out of books, not body parts) to life to defeat the zombies--and who better to help than Ben Franklin, who is busy with his electricity experiments.

Every Saturday at noon precisely, the T. Middleton Nightingale City Library is transformed, and today Kelly, one of the library pages, arrives just in time to find herself inside the Labyrinth, confronting the Minotaur with Princess Ariadne; her fellow pages are nowhere in sight--and defeating the Minotaur is only the beginning, because other monsters of Greek mythology are also roaming the confusing corridors, and there seems to be no way out of this maze.

When library page Jordan Young falls asleep in the children's section of T. Middleton Nightingale City Library, she misses the initial transformation of the library and wakes up to find herself in the land of Lilliput, where the tiny people are fighting over how to crack an egg and a friendly giant from Brobdingnag is looking for her giant mischievous monkey.

At T. Middleton Nightingale City Library, when the old, broken clock strikes twelve, the library is transformed into something out of an author's mind--and today the volunteer pages find themselves in the middle of Edgar Allan Poe's imagination where monsters lurk, and a raven is telling them to find Lenore if they want to restore the library to normal.
