The annual library convention gives Israel the opportunity to catch up with his family, eat paprika chicken and baklava, and drink good coffee. But they've barely found parking when the unimaginable occurs: their library-on-wheels is stolen!Who on earth would want to take a thirty-year-old traveling disaster with the words The Book Stops Here painted across the back?
