This was an excellent middle grade read with truly an amazing plot that could have worked really well for an adult audience as well. Especially the ending, it was really deep! Dally Peterharrington just wants time for herself, time to explore, go on adventures, make friends. Instead her overbearing mother forces her to go to school, have a private business tutor, etiquette classes, nearly every waking moment is spent preparing to take over the family business. Her mom is concerned with being a good steward of the family fortune and legacy an there isn't time for adventure or fun. Life has been miserable for Dally until she discovers a map that leads her to a secret library. The library is filled with family secrets and soon Dally starts to learn more about her family history then she ever thought possible and it's about to change her whole life. Impressive world building, unique magic, and one hell of an adventure.
