Sadie isn’t feeling so great, but she’s determined not to barf in the book she’s holding . . . especially not in front of that cute guy who’s checking out the library’s pitiful selection of DVDs. So she’s less than thrilled when he follows her into the bathroom, even if it’s just to make sure she’s okay.

When they emerge, the library appears to be closed. Weirder still, it’s surrounded by a strange storm that definitely wasn’t there a few minutes earlier. Sadie and her new friend (or enemy—she hasn’t decided yet) won’t be going anywhere for a while.

Being trapped in a library with a cute guy might not be the worst thing in the world. It might not be the best thing, either . . . especially once that weird storm starts spitting out things that are only supposed to exist in stories.
