Books of Two Owners

Atop a bookshelf, in an otherwise normal classroom, sits a castle made of cardboard. And inside it, a small civilization that idolizes literature. When books go astray from the royal library, the otherwise peaceful court is thrown into chaos.

This is a mystery short story I wrote in the fall of 2016 for a language arts project. The pictures on the cover and at the beginning of the story were taken by me. I hope you enjoy it! As it is my first story, the quality may not be that great. Any constructive feedback is welcome!
