Sophie Quire and the Last Storyguard by Jonathan Auxier*

A Peter Nimble Adventure
Sophie Quire spends her days mending books in her father's bookshop.  When Inquisitor Prigg requires the residents of Bustleburgh to burn any books that promote nonsense (aka magic and fantasy), Sophie Quire wonders how she and her father will survive.  Peter Nimble and his loyal friend Sir Tode arrive to give her a mysterious book called The Book of Who.  Sophie soon discovers that her mother had died saving this book.  Adventure, magical creatures and peril await her, Peter Nimble and Sir Tode beyond their imaginations!
An exciting and creative fantasy!
Warnings: violence, drug use (made up drugs-really spells, I guess?), Madame Eldritch is quite seductive. 
Minor heads up: Peter and Sophie tentatively give hints of liking each other.  Sophie kisses Peter on the cheek. 
*Highly recommend (but see warnings) for 4th grade and up. 
-Borrowed from a friend.
