The Forbidden Library

When her father is lost at sea shortly after meeting a very unusual visitor, Alice must leave her home to live with her Uncle Geryon, a relative she knows nothing about and whose rural Pennsylvania estate includes a massive and mysterious library that holds much more than books.

Interesting and different premises in the book where you enter books and creatures submit to you allowing you later to summon their powers. Definitely 10+ due to high complexity

upd: still feel the same about the book, a good 3,5 , quite addictive
God dammit, I kinda need to know what happens next.

Late one night Alice Creighton hears her father having an argument with a fairy âe" a snarling, bald beast with warts and needle-like teeth. The next day her father disappears, never to return. And Alice is sent to live with Master Geryon, an uncle she never even knew existed. Geryon has a dark, mysterious library which is strictly off-limits to Alice. But after meeting a talking cat who is willing to sneak her in, Alice opens a book and suddenly finds herself inside it âe" and the only way out is by conquering the dangerous creatures within . . .
