The magpie's library

"Silva and her family visit her grandfather, only to find his health has taken a bad turn. As they struggle with this news, Silva seeks escape in books at the local library. But she gets more than she bargained for when a magpie guides her to a secret, magical room containing books that she can not only read, but that she can live. Silva finds herself in the worlds of the characters . . . who all turn out to be real people. People she knows. There's a catch, though--she soon discovers that the magpie has lured her to these books for selfish and dark reasons. Going back to the books could mean losing her soul . . ."--Publisher.
