The Librarian (Little Boy Lost)

Nicely done! While this is a typical approach to a middle reader novel, that of having classic books come alive of sorts, I was taken in by the characters.
The characters were stereo type as well but I liked them.
You have the geeky unsung, picked on hero, his best friend that stands up for him, that also happens to be a girl. The bully, the creepy old librarian, and the mysterious library.
This last part was different than most and well done.
I smiled at the funny bits, I rooted for our hero, I even found myself thinking "I don't think I ever really read Wizard of Oz and I must now do so."
This ended on a cliff hanger, which was to be expected, but I will read the 2nd book, after I finish the Wizard of Oz I think.
