From the Publisher"[Downey] shows a rare gift for crafting scrambles so madcap that it's hard to turn the pages fast enough to keep up. Well worth a spot on library shelves...but it won't stay there long." - Kirkus
"The melding of fantasy, adventure, and history is enlightening...Readers who miss the collegial, magical setting of Hogwarts will enjoy exploring Petrarch's Library." - School Library Journal
"Delightfully funny from the first page, this middle- grade time-travel adventure is surprisingly full of fun and action. Downey's hilarious debut is perfect for any library-loving reader and those who never considered librarians to be cool." - Booklist
"The delightful premise will be an obvious hit with librarians and their fans.
