The Book isThe Borrower by Rebecca Makkai

In this delightful, funny, and moving first novel, a librarian and a young boyobsessed with reading take to the road. Lucy Hull, a young children's

librarian in Hannibal, Missouri, finds herself both a kidnapper and kidnappedwhen her favourite patron, ten- year-old Ian Drake, runs away from home.

The precocious Ian is addicted to reading, but needs Lucy's help to smugglebooks past his overbearing mother, who has enrolled Ian in weekly antigay

classes with celebrity Pastor Bob. Lucy stumbles into a moral dilemma whenshe finds Ian camped out in the library after hours with a knapsack of

provisions and an escape plan. Desperate to save him from Pastor Bob andthe Drakes, Lucy allows herself to be hijacked by Ian. The odd pair embarkson a crazy road trip from Missouri to Vermont, with ferrets, an inconvenientboyfriend, and upsetting family history thrown in their path. But is it just Ian

who is running away? Who is the man who seems to be on their tail? Andshould Lucy be trying to save a boy from his own parents?
