 Running from a group of bullies, Daniel Holmes, orphaned at a young age, stumbles upon the magical Nowhere Emporium in Glasgow – a shop from nowhere. Its owner, Lucien Silver, recruits Daniel to be his apprentice and Daniel enters a world of magic and enchantment. The Emporium is made up of passageways and rooms that belong to different locations and times. When Mr. Silver disappears, Vindictus Sharpe appears and threatens the existence of the Emporium and everyone in it. Daniel’s journey is full of wonderful imaginative fantasy and colorful descriptions that will appeal to fans of Neil Gaiman, Philip Pullman, and the Harry Potter books. mjw |
