About the book: Property Jones and her family win the Great Montgomery Book Store competition; Albert Montgomery decides to retire and present his great library to a book lover. It's a dream come true for the book-loving Jones family! The Montgomery Library is no ordinary library, it is full of rooms to be called, rooms full of books of every kind and form; Fantasy stories, historical stories, kings and knights stories, seas and oceans stories, space stories, princesses stories, pirate stories... Animal stories, and the list is endless. But Montgomery's great store has more than books; Albert Montgomery is hiding a secret that could destroy everything for the Jones family. Property herself hides a great secret from her family as well, but her biggest secret may be the key that will save the Jones family and their library from the clutches of a vicious and hateful thief. The book was a huge success in the United States and won many awards.
