Summary

The "Dark Library" is a collection of forbidden texts composed by Ann M. Martin before it was given to her to weave the great Sitters' Cycle. It is unknown what words of power are writ inside the hidden tomes of the Dark Library — all that is known is that anyone who dares to read them is driven mad. This Scholastic-approved biography of Ann M. Martin was written by Margot Becker R., one of the few living beings to have seen the Dark Library and witnessed its macabre secrets, and as such, it's a pretty perilous read! This week, our two brave boys are opening their minds to this dangerous book on your behalf, so dive in and enjoy ... but consider yourself warned.

Also, be sure to preorder "We Are the Baby-Sitters Club: Essays and Artwork from Grown-Up Readers" wherever you get your books!
