The Bookshop Girl by Sylvia Bishop
4.0
This was such a crazy but wonderful book! I know that it's written for children but I wish it could be longer :)
The Bookshop Girl is a story about Property Jones, who was once left in a bookshop and now lives with a bookshop owner and her son. Living among all the books sounds amazing, but Property has a big secret - she cannot read. Now, the Jones family face some financial problems until they are chosen to be the new owners of the biggest bookshop in the world - the Montgomery Book Emporium. Property is still intimidated by the fact that she can't read, but when a strange man will try to take over the bookshop, she may be the one to solve the mystery and save the day.
Like I said, this was a wonderful book and I had lots of fun reading it. The characters were endearing and put a smile on my face, and the setting (mostly bookshops!) was every bookworm's dream. I do wish that the book was a bit longer and had more descriptions, especially of the Montgomery Boko Emporium,but I know that it's a book for young readers and for them, it's perfect as it is. The rest can be left to the imagination :)
If you're looking for a quick and fun read and like me, adore books about books, give it a try! I know that I'm going to re-read it once in a while :)
