Polly Shulman's The Grimm Legacy
Sneak Peak? "Elizabeth has just started working as a page at the New York Circulating Material Repository, a lending library of objects -- contemporary and historical, common and obscure. And secret, too -- for in the repository's basement lies the Grimm Collection, a room of magical items straight from the Grimm Brothers fairy tales. But the magic mirrors and seven-league boots and other items are starting to disappear. And before she knows it, she and her fellow pages--handsome Marc, perfect Anjali, and brooding Aaron--are suddenly caught up in an exciting but dangerous adventure!"
