Poppy loves her family’s bookshop Rhyme and Reason. She knows how important it is for them to keep to their mission – welcome readers from all over the world and all throughout time, but never use the magic for themselves. They are centered in 1944 Ney York. But something is wrong with the bookshop – the magic isn’t working correctly, and something evil seems to be seeping in. Her older brother, Al, has been distraught since his best friend was killed in the current war, but would Al really endanger all that they have to find a way to use time for himself? Poppy will to be brave, to find allies, and step forward into danger in order to save all that she loves.
If you have a group of students who love fantasy books centered on bookshops, like Pages and Co, they will enjoy Poppy’s bravery and sheer gumption. It does get a bit dark – especially when more secrets are uncovered, but we all love a bit or direness and anger, right?
