The Forbidden Library : Django Wexler

Alice discovers that fairies are real. Meaning magic is real. Meaning the world is full of possibilities she didn't even know existed before. Then her father disappears, supposedly dead—but, Alice reasons, because magic is real, so is the possibility that her father is still alive. Alice is sent to live with her 'uncle Jerry' who turns out to be the magician Geryon, who wants Alice to be his apprentice, and who has a mysterious magical library full of talking cats. Alice learns what it means to be a "Reader", how to conquer bits of magic and meld them to her control, and that the community of Readers is a backstabbing untrustworthy lot.
