The Unpublished Library



Meet Morris Southall. He isn’t an ordinary 11 year-old boy. He doesn’t have the use of his legs so he is bound to a wheelchair. But he has a great attitude and fabulous furry friend, Rollo, a helping dog, who goes everywhere with Morris.
It’s Christmas and Morris has a homework assignment to create his very own story.  Morris creates a story about a boy spy who saves the world from an evil Santa Claus. Unfortunately Rollo eats the story before Morris has time to finish it, something about turkey gravy on the paper. Now Morris doesn’t have his homework assignment to turn in and his teacher doesn’t believe that he actually wrote the story.
Luckily Morris’s class takes a field trip to visit the Bodleian Library, which is in Oxford, England, where the story takes place. But this library has something special, a library for all unpublished books. And this is where the real story begins.
Morris learns about this secret library where all stories every written but never published come to life along with lost books by famous authors by a crazy librarian. Morris becomes determined to find his unpublished story to prove to his teacher that he actually wrote it.
This is a story of adventure intertwined with characters and stories of many of our beloved authors. Meet monsters, spiders, mad bulls, a crazy Santa and a crazy pirate. Creatively and masterfully written, this is a wonderful story that could be a great read-aloud to a class or a chapter book to share with the family. Can Morris really find his unpublished story?
