4-6Forbidden Library series.
Illustrated by
Alexander Jansson.
Apprentice Reader Alice (The Mad Apprentice) is able to enter books physically and access the powers within. Vowing revenge on her master, who was responsible for her father's death, Alice searches for a book called The Infinite Prison that she hopes will trap him. New magical creatures, relationships, and adversaries deepen this already solid fantasy franchise with an appealing heroine.
