The book charmer
(Book)

A charming and evocative story about a picturesque Southern town, two fiercely independent women, and a magical friendship that will change their lives forever. To Sarah Dove, books have always been alive: they breathe, and sometimes, magically, they even speak. When Sarah grows up to become the librarian in quaint Dove Pond, her gift helps place every book in the hands of the perfect reader. Recently, however, the books have been whispering about the arrival of a displaced city girl named Grace Wheeler. If the books are right, Grace could be the savior that Dove Pond desperately needs. The problem is, Grace wants little to do with the town or its quirky residents -- Sarah chief among them. --,Adapted from dust jacket.
