The Library of Unruly Treasures

THE LIBRARY OF UNRULY TREASURES written by Jeanne Birdsall and read by Sorcha Groundsell

Sorcha Groundsell reads Jeanne Birdsall’s latest novel, THE LIBRARY OF UNRULY TREASURES. Groundsell conveys Birdsall’s grounding gift for timeless writing and pairs it with an exciting entry into fantasy as 11-year-old Gwen MacKinnon, neglected by both parents is sent to live with her Great-Uncle Matthew. Gwen expects more of the same but instead her heart is quickly captured by her caring Uncle, his disrespectful dog who seems to have no boundaries, a library that shares her name and… a mystery. Gwen is surprised by how children under six are captivated by the Lahdukan, a miniature magical tribe of winged, turquoise-haired beings who curiously Gwen soon realizes she can see as well. Groundsell’s Scottish accents are a fabulous contribution as we learn that Gwen is a prophesized Qalba who suddenly is charged with resettling the Lahdukan in the Sarah Gardner Museum in Boston. Find a link to this book and audio in the purchase button below.
