A beguiling read, filled with warmth and humour, and a vibrant celebration of the power of books to change lives

A beautiful fable, an It's a Wonderful Life for the modern age - impossibly timely when we are all stuck in a world we wish could be different

A celebration of life's possibilities . . . A beautiful concept . . . Charming

A rare and welcome light of hope and wisdom in the darkness

A wonderful story . . . Such a beautiful book to get lost in

I can't describe how much his work means to me. So necessary . . . The king of empathy

Warm and humorous

A brilliant premise and great fun to have so many stories within one book

Amazing and utterly beautiful, The Midnight Library is everything you'd expect from the genius storyteller who is Matt Haig
