ABOUT THE BOOK:

With her signature blend of magical and heartfelt storytelling, USA TODAY bestselling authorJennifer Moorman returns with The Charmed Library, a love letter to libraries, favorite childhoodstories, and readers who have fallen for fictional heroes.

Like many other public libraries, the one in Blue Sky Valley, North Carolina, is a haven for readers. But it's also unlike any other. In this library, fictional characters step off the page into real life. Assistantlibrarian Stella Parker has no idea. Still reeling from her father's death and—more recently—a breakup,she hasn't noticed. All she knows is she's stuck in a job she's overqualified for and stumped about whatto do with her life.Everything changes when she burns her beloved journal.

Words matter to Stella. For as long as she can remember, she's seen them. Words appear--in varyingcolors and fonts--rising from surfaces, bouncing over objects, and even wiggling out of people. Wordsgive her insight into emotions and untold stories. But the words change for Stella after she burns herjournal. Suddenly they're demanding, urgent--and painful.

Then Stella stumbles upon strange characters in the library after hours. One is an oddly familiar WorldWar II soldier who introduces himself as Jack--Jack Mathis, the main character from her favorite book. Afictional hero and Stella's first crush. Standing in front of her in the flesh.

Jack tells Stella about the magic hidden in the library. Skeptical, Stella rashly invites a villain to visit, andchaos ensues. As she discovers the importance of protecting the library's secret and gets to know thereal Jack, words continue to appear. What are they trying to tell her? Much too quickly, Stella is facedwith the reality that all stories must end, and magic comes at a price. The characters who visit thelibrary can only stay for fourteen days. And Jack's time is almost up.

A cozy, Hallmark-esque rom-com, The Charmed Library invites readers to escape to a worldwhere words come alive and book boyfriends leap off the page.
