*2.5 stars*

this was cute, but unfortunately not enough substance to really get into the groove of the late 60's/early 70's.

I loved this prequel to Mr. Penumbra’s 24 Hour Bookstore! I read the other book first, and now kinda want to read it again now that I know the backstory to the characters. The audio narrator is superb!
