I would not have cared about being locked overnight in the library, by the way.

What sticks out to me about this book after so many years is the idea that people would go out of their way to stare at an object. A giant ball of twine is one thing, but a lfe-size diorama of 'Raggedy Ann and Andy' or 'The Wizard of Oz'? People don't think that way anymore, did they ever? There were so many books that hinged on that thinking: this was a staple of 'Boxcar Children', but let's just name-drop 'The Tree House Mystery' and Sheila Greenwald's 'The Secret Museum'. I hope it works out kids.

Jo-Beth and Mary Rose Mysteries

Rather implausible, but still fun and satisfying. Better for ages 8-10, or younger if you're reading it to them. Too bad the girls don't actually wind up spending that much time among all the books - I would have preferred a book about them enjoying staying up reading and sharing conversations about what they read, maybe inventing some make-believe from the stories or histories.

The dialogue is somewhat stilted, and the girls aren't very interesting (except for their names, why would an author call two characters Mary Rose and Jo-Beth.) though the story was interesting. "Kids don't faint, only grown-ups faint." Tell that to my eight-year-old fainting self. ( )

I really liked this book! First, I liked the plot of the story. The plot was suspenseful, in order to gain the audiences attention. The two main characters were stuck inside the library with creepy noises, and object which created the suspenseful plot. Second, I liked the illustration. This chapter book had an illustration in almost every chapter. Although, the illustrations were not very detailed it allowed the reader to have something to look forward to. For example, in chapter four there is a picture of the girls in the library hearing a thump in the ceiling. The main message of the story is that things are not as great as they seems, and looks can be deceiving. ( )

The library that Mary Rose and Jo-Beth Onetree are prisoners in is the Finton Memorial Library for Children. It's as well for Miss Finton, the librarian, that the girls are the daughters of Mr. 'Last-Minute Harry' Onetree. If their father hadn't put off getting more gas while driving the girls from their home in Fort Worth to visit their Aunt Madge in Indianapolis, his car wouldn't have stopped during a blizzard. If Jo-Beth hadn't needed to go to the bathroom, the girls wouldn't have gone into the library. If Mary Rose hadn't been so interested in the 'kid hack' display (and Miss Finton hadn't missed finding them), they wouldn't have been locked inside when the library closed.

Remember that blizzard? It took out the electricity and the phone lines. The girls are frightened, especially when something speaks to them as it flies past. Still, when they hear a noise upstairs, Mary Rose investigates. Jo-Beth comes along because she's afraid to stay downstairs without her big sister.

The library is a marvelous place and the girls have a good adventure. Jo-Beth's lively imagination adds to the fun. (I particularly enjoyed her ponderings when Miss Finton exclaims, 'If that doesn't beat buttered parsnips!')

The illustrations are nice. It certainly is a library I'd love to visit if it were real.

I want to look for the other books in this series! ( )

For my good friends the librarians

They spun a web of golden words
And held me fast therein-
A lonely child, who learned from them
Where magic could begin.
