Inhaltsangabe

A town is left in ruins after the bombs fall.
The beloved library is turned to ash.
Home will never feel the same.

But then one day, the Librarian appears in the square. Seated on a bench in front of the library ruins, she opens a book and begins to read aloud. The village children stop to listen. "Foolish woman," Papa says. "Too dangerous," Mama agrees, hurrying the children away. Day after day, as she returns to her post, the Librarian’s stories bring comfort to the broken hearts of the people. Little by little, seeds of hope are planted, and the town begins to heal. Inspired by the true story of the Cellist of Sarajevo, a compassionate musician who played his cello for 22 days to honor the deaths of 22 innocent people killed after the bombing of a bakery during the Bosnian war.

The Librarian's Stories is a testament to the enduring connection between stories and hope.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

LM Falcone was a serious couch potato growing up and loved watching television. While living in Los Angeles, Lucy wrote for such television series as The Littlest Hobo, The New Monkees, and Nickelodeon’s hugely popular Are You Afraid of the Dark‘. She also started a production company, Northwind Productions, and produced a situation comedy pilot titled Choir Practice starring Susan Anton and Elaina Reed Hall (from the series 227).
 
In 2003 Lucy turned her hand to writing novels. Her middle-grade supernatural thrillers include The Mysterious Mummer, Walking with the Dead, The Devil, the Bansee and Me, and The Midnight Curse. These four novels have garnered nine nominations, four wins (the Silver Birch, two Diamond Willows, and a Red Cedar award) as well as two Honour nods at the MYCRA Awards.
 
Lucy has also created a comedic, early-reader kid-detective series The Ghost and Max Monroe, and published her first picture book titled, I Didn’t Stand Up inspired by the poem First They Came… by Martin Niemoller.
