Elizabeth writes a project for school on the Brothers Grimm, and as a result gets a good mark and a job in The New York Circulating Material Repository - a lending library for all things historical, fantastical and magical, the most magical being the Grimm Collection. It contains items such as the magic mirror from Snow White, the spindle from Sleeping Beauty, and all the shoes of The Twelve Dancing Princesses. When these important items start to go missing, Elizabeth and her friends from the Repository go out to find the culprit, using anything magical to help them.
Hard to pin down an age group for this - first I thought 9-10, then there was lots of kissing which increased it to an 11! Bit of a weak ending after a good adventurous story, but I still enjoyed it.
