Speaking of the Lithuanian book smugglers, there's an excellent middle grade historical fiction novel about them by Jennifer Nielsen called "Words on Fire."
Super cool. Reminds me of the library thread that runs through The Shawshank Redemption, including some humorous exchanges. “The...Count of...Monty...Crisco?” “Monte CRISTO. You’d like that one--it’s about a prison break.” 😊

Powerful stuff. Thank you. You would enjoy Redeeming Justice by Jarrett Adams as well.
This type of writing about books goes beyond the usual. It’s an excellent picture of how vital the word on the page is.
