Kristen Mendez _mendez — I am suspicious of librarian narrators, especially children's librarian narrators. So when I picked up this book, I held it at arms-length as I tried to ascertain how much it would disappoint me. That was two days ago. Now fast-forward to this afternoon as I skipped going to the farmers' market in order to lie on the couch and inhale the book's final two-thirds. Some may question the plausibility of Librarian Lucy and her 10-year-old patron, Ian, kidnapping each other and setting off on a Huck-and-Jim adventure, but that was part of the charm for me. Because even as the book wrestles with serious issues and is most certainly not a lighthearted romp, it still has the quirks of a Roald Dahl story where a road trip via a peach sounds just about right. Lucy's voice is earnest, but also sarcastic and self-deprecating. The kidlit authors and titles scattered throughout jive with my tastes and the direct homages to specific books are also clever without distracting from the story. Ian is every librarian's dream patron: "He took off the empty backpack that I realized just now he'd been wearing the whole time, and unzipped it. 'Fill 'er up!'" He is also a real kid, who knows how to manipulate, struggles with simple math, doesn't quite understand the adult world, sings for longer than anyone wants to hear him, and delights in putting change in a parking meter. He is one of those characters that will stick inside me for a long time and I've already made my own epilogue for his story that I hope will come true.
