In "The Legend of Spud Murphy" by Eoin Colfer, siblings Will and Mary are reluctantly dragged to the local library during their summer holidays. Their initial dread quickly turns to curiosity when they hear the tales of the feared librarian, known as Spud Murphy. Legend has it that she uses unusual and terrifying methods to keep rowdy children in line. As Will and Mary confront their fears, they discover a hidden world within the library, filled with adventure and imagination. Their summer takes an unexpected turn as they learn that sometimes, the scariest places can hold the greatest treasures. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
