Rebel in the Library of Ever continues Zeno Alexander’s acclaimed middle-grade fantasy series with a dangerous takeover of the magical Library as our heroine fights to make knowledge free for everyone.

Lenora returns to the magical Library―which holds every book ever known on its shelves. But she discovers the Library is under new management, its incredible rooms and corridors turned dark and sinister.

She quickly connects with a secret resistance that’s trying to free knowledge from the shadows threatening it. Her new friends introduce her to an ancient lost city, hang-gliding, and mathematical beings larger than the universe itself. And they help her face the mysterious Board of new leaders―who are leading the Library into darkness.

Now it’s up to Lenora to prove that knowledge is always more powerful than ignorance and fear.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I am impressed (as I was with the first in the series) with how much information the author fits in the book in such a fun way. And if it’s something you’ve never heard of before, it makes you want to research and learn! Perfect for a book about an adventure in a library 😁. Also, I loved the reference to Windblowne that he included!! I’ll definitely order if he writes a third in the series 😊.

This was an excellent book for beginning readers and above. I enjoyed the characters and the fantastic adventures the young librarian had. The characters were believable, the plot easily followed and the pace of the story very good. I highly recommend this book to readers 8 to 15, especially.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun hijinks-filled adventure fighting for freedom of knowledge!
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2020
Rebel in the Library of Ever by Zeno Alexander, and the first book in the series, The Library of Ever, are the cutest books I have read in a long time. Both are great, but the second, Rebel, is so full of love: love of knowledge, love of truth, love of friendship, love of libraries. I want to live/work/play in this library! It is the ULTIMATE library, and I want it to really exist.

The premise that Zeno Alexander is telling the main character's life story is a premise seen in Middle Grade fiction, but it is an effective one. Lenora is a privileged, white, upper-class little girl who has dreams beyond her prescribed life. In the first book, Lenora sneaks away from a careless nanny and discovers The Library, where she works her way up the library system ladder, helping patrons along the way. In the second book, the reader is back with Lenora, who was sent back to the "real" world to grow up a bit. But, as Lenora finds out, a librarian's job is never done.

There is a main lesson at the heart of the book, all told through the guise of kooky adventure after kooky adventure. The morality of light vs. dark, good v.s evil, is in each page, with the real hero being knowledge itself. Lenora is a rascally and strong main character, one both boys and girls would root for throughout her many tales. While it is plot heavy, the reader learns about Lenora, and our real world, through each "lesson". Upper elementary kids will love the fun hijinks, while middle grade kids will enjoy the over-arching battle for intellectual freedom (believe me, kids want to be told the truth and given facts; intellectual freedom is right in their wheel-house).

A love letter to librarians, libraries, and books themselves, Rebel in the Library of Ever is a wonderfully intelligent, funny, and heartfelt book. A book that many kids, and adults, will enjoy. It definitely made me proud to be a librarian!

I loved this book! What a treat to go on adventures with Lenora again in this fun and clever sequel to The Library of Ever. An exciting fast-paced read for both kids and adults, with important messages about knowledge, self-discovery and self-confidence woven throughout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for rebels? Check the library!
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2020
One year after her initial adventure as an assistant librarian in the Library of Ever, Lenora returns. However, it is not to a Library that she remembers. This Library is ruled by fear and misinformation, as the mysterious Board appoints an incompetent Director, who gives Librarians three options: quit, be fired, or cooperate. (The fourth option is to be eaten, so...) Desperate to save her Library, Lenora embarks on adventure with a new friend who is the last person she ever expected to be: the Director's daughter. Will Lenora be able to lead a rebellion and fight for what is right? Or will the Forces of Darkness extinguish the Light?

A phenomenal follow-up to "The Library of Ever", "Rebel in the Library of Ever" is a great gateway for discussing intellectual freedom with younger audiences, as well as discussing evaluation of information and learning that adults don't always have all the answers--not even parents, not even leaders. The Library of Ever is still as amazing and magical as before, and readers will be cheering on Lenora every step of the way and amazed with the facts that they learn, too.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good sequel but not as good as the previous book
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2020
I had such high expectations for this book because I loved the first book “The Library of Ever”. While I still loved it overall, it was not as good as the first book.

Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed reading this one! It was high on action and adventure. The story-line was darker and more serious compared to the previous book. Lenora has grown up and become even more strong and confident. I loved her friendship with Lucy! Lucy is a bit annoying at first, but she grew on me and I thought she made the perfect friend for Lenora. There is a lot of science fiction elements which I enjoyed. The villains are darker and conniving and I was wondering how the story would turn out. I also loved how the author references the villains to the real life governments and corporations who force libraries to shut down due to lack of funding.

However, the main reason I could not enjoy this book was due to the lack of fun facts. Don’t get me wrong. There are still some fun facts where we learn about Googology, Wu Zetian and the Chinese character, and the Library of Alexandria. However, the facts were numerology based and there wasn’t as broad as the ones in the first book. I felt the story was more focused on the adventure and less on the trivia. Due to this, I did not feel the same spark as I did with the previous book.

Nevertheless, the story is a lot of fun to read. The book can be read without reading the previous one. But I encourage everyone to read the first book because in my opinion, it was better than this story.

I loved the Library of Ever, but I think that Rebel in the Library of Ever is totally my favourite of the two. It is clever and creative and got me stuck in right away. I think there should be a third book in the series, so we can see more of Lenora’s adventures.
