Book Talk & Review: Library of Doom: The Eye in the Graveyard

The Library of Doom is a series written by Michael Dahl. The series can be read in any order. I just finished reading Eye in the Graveyard.

I purchased the 10th anniversary edition of the series years ago for my twin sons. They love mystery and scary stories. This series focuses on a librarian who watches over a hidden library of dangerous books. The librarian’s job is to prevent the books from falling into the wrong hands.

This book begins with the librarian taking a dangerous book to a graveyard. Over time, the book gets heavier as the librarian is dragging the book to bury it. Of course, burying this book isn’t an easy job. Of course, you’ll have to read this story to find out why the Librarian needs to bury this book in the first place!

I also love the back matter of these books. In the back of these books, readers will find fun facts from the Librarian, information about the author and illustrator, a glossary, discussion questions, writing prompts, and extra insight from the author Michael Dahl about why he wrote this particular book in the series.

Below, I have ranked the books in the series I have read thus far from best to least favorite. Yes, this book is currently my least favorite in the series thus far due to the ending.
