In the latest title from celebrated creative duo Nathan Bryon and Dapo Adeola, the irrepressible Rocket exalts the pleasures and importance of libraries, and starts a community campaign to save her own local library from closure. Informative and inspiring - as with 'Look Up!' and 'Clean Up!', the text is peppered with "Did you know..." speech bubble asides from Rocket, sharing information about libraries, books, and the history of peaceful protest. Also includes visual ‘Easter eggs’ throughout in the form of other Puffin titles hidden in Adeola’s illustrations.

See also: the short story 'Save Our Library' from Nikhil and Jay Save the Day (9781913074623, £7.99 Otter-Barry Books), in which the brothers join a protest to reopen their town library.
