The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman

Elizabeth Rew, on her way to school one morning, gives her gym shoes to a homeless woman during a snow storm and receives a #2 yellow pencil in return. Elizabeth, in a new school and having no friends, has help from her social studies teacher in finding a job with the New York Circulating Material Repository where objects rather than books are loaned. One of the collections is called the Grimm Collection which coincidently, Elizabeth had just finished a research paper about the Grimm Brothers. While objects in the collection can be rather odd and aren't always what they seem; Elizabeth and the other pages soon realize some of the objects have gone missing. The Grimm Legacy is found in Young Adult Fiction. Try out our new comfy chairs located in the Reference Room.
