"Library Girl" by Polly Horvath is a children's/YA novel about Essie, a girl who was raised in secret by four librarians after being found as a baby in an Indiana library. The librarians devise a system to keep Essie in the building without the knowledge of the library's director. Essie befriends library patrons but yearns for a family with siblings. At age 11, she is allowed to explore the four blocks around the library and meets a boy who resembles her, leading her to wonder if they are twins. The book explores Essie's longing for siblings and her desire for a larger support network. [Extracted from the article]
