When Elsy, a Filipino-American book nerd, tries to save Littleton's Public Library from closing down, the cutest boy in school helps her while a red leather-bound book keeps magically appearing in the hands of the townsfolk as if the library is trying to communicate. ***** Like the rest of the world, the people of Littleton are consumed by technology, and reading books is no longer a part of their culture. Their only public library is closing in a month, but Elsy, a Filipino-American book nerd, is not going to let it happen without a fight. When a red leather-bound book is stowed on the wrong shelf, Elsy borrows it from the library. But she hasn't even had a chance to read it yet when it disappears and keeps reappearing in the hands of Littleton's folks as if the library is trying to find its own way. As Elsy continues her campaign, her friends from high school join her, including Finn--a boy who doesn't like to read. She has nothing in common with him and finds him annoying, but their new friendship grows as they discover the magic of falling in love... with books. A story of love, diversity, and magic. ***** Premise: A book nerd tries to save a library from closing permanently, and the library tries to save itself as if deciding it was not going down without a fight. ***** 2 Chapters published per week starting January 1 at 10pm GMT+8 (PH Time).
