Endymion Spring, by Matthew Skelton
2.5-3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I read this years and years ago in grade school and thought I'd re-read it. I'd give this book between 2.5-3 stars. It's a nice middle grade read but I think it's a tad long. The beginning and very end of the story is where everything mainly takes place; all of the middle is unnecessarily long and drawn out.

Endymion Spring has two separate story lines. The one story line takes place in the current day in Oxford with the main characters, Blake and his sister Duck. The kids find a blank book entitled, Endymion Spring that only Blake can see/read. They soon discover that the book contains all of the knowledge in the world. The second story line follows the character, Endymion Spring, who works as an apprentice for Gutenberg who is working on his printing press in Mainz.
