A COZY, WHIMSICAL, BOOKISH FANTASY - PERFECT FOR FANS OF THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY, THE SPELLSHOP, THE LOST BOOKSHOP AND MR PENUMBRA’S 24 HOUR BOOKSTORE

“THIS BOOK IS TRULY MAGICAL!"
SARA BETH DURST, author of The Spellshop

Stick your nose in these books and they just might bite . . .

Home to lost objects and dark and dangerous items best left unseen, the enchanted bookstore Mr Mendlebee’s Pandimensional Literary Repository (and Yarn) keeps our universe spinning, opening its doors only to those who need it most.

There’s just one rule: once you’ve visited, you may never return.

But when repository resident Violet starts seeing ghosts, Mr Mendelbee’s allows its first repeat customer to unlock the secrets: a young woman called Rachel.

With help from the Yeti-like Book Keeper, wizened Yarn Weaver, fish-out-of-water clerk, and Muriel the cat (who’s so much more than a cat), Rachel and Violet discover a dangerous mystery at the heart of the repository. In solving it, these misfits and magical mavericks form a bond as solid as steel and as true as their hearts.

But will their little community be enough to save the bookstore . . . and the world?
