Peter lives with his mother and grandfather in the museum, which has the most weird and wonderful exhibits and a hundred secret doors. When his grandfather gets sick, Peter decides to search for his long-lost father. Instead, he finds a strange old woman who gives him a book called How To Live Forever but makes him promise never to read it. Trapped in a world where books are houses, Peter meets a girl called Festival, and together they look for the Ancient Child, who has the answers to everything.

Review:
"Not since Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose" have libraries been so celebrated. Book-lovers and library-haunters will be enchanted. We who know the mysterious powers of the library will not be at all surprised by the goings on in Peter's museum, behind its hidden doors." --Virginia Lowe, winner of the 2004 Aurealis Award for Children's Novels--Short Fiction
"Peter is a young boy who reminds us all what a wonderful thing it is to be curious and to find courage we don't realise is within us . . . Thompson's writing is smooth and his storytelling agile. He introduces us to a world rich with characters and landscapes both grotesque and charming, and he fills this book with friendship and love." --Aurealis Awards Judges' Report 2004
