title: Chronicles: The Library of Illumination
author: Carol Pack
description: <b> "Pack cheerfully runs an inventive marathon with this anything-goes premise. ...stories such as "The Orb" and "Casanova" flaunt Pack's literary brilliance and her ability to grow the world and characters episodically; watching Jackson woo Joanna will entice audiences just as much as the adventures. ... Come for the literary sights and sounds, stay for Pack's miraculously fine-tuned imagination." <i>Kirkus Reviews (starred review)</i></b><br /><br /><b><i>Chronicles: The Library of Illumination</i>has been named to<i>Kirkus Review's</i>Best Books of 2014</b>
