Why read it?
1 author picked Ronan the Librarian as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The first thing that attracted me to this book is the terrific title – and the cover illustration. My kids and I enjoyed the humor, adventure, and unexpected twists in this entertaining tale about a barbarian clan that finds a treasure box of books.

(Definitely don’t miss reading the little flyers in the illustrations!)
From Viviane's list on the magic of libraries.
