(3 reviews with an average rating of 4 out of 5)
Publisher: Floris Books
Orphaned as a toddler and growing up in a children's home, Daniel is constantly picked on by Spud Harper and his gang of bullies. However, his life changes forever when he stumbles upon The Nowhere Emporium, which has mysteriously arrived in Glasgow.
Its owner and creator, Lucien Silver, quickly spots something special about Daniel. He invites him to come and work at the Emporium, which can inexplicably travel anywhere in the world and at any time. It doesn't take long for Silver to realise the true extent of Daniel's talent - and so begins an exciting adventure to save the Emporium from his lifelong arch-nemesis, Vindictus Sharpe.
A dazzling and quirky tale, full of imagination and wonder. This one is perfect for fans of JK Rowling, Philip Pullman and Neil Gaiman.

This Book was amazing! The incredible descriptive words had the reader on the edge of their seat. The characters really set this book apart from any other fantasy read. Personally, im not a big fan of fantasy and dislike it. This book was a school read and I loved it! The characters were so interesting and very different from each other. I found that the ending was cringy and predictable though. definitely worth reading!

Mysterious, intriguing and exciting, we read this book on the edge of our seat. The dazzling Emporium has many secrets down its many corridors, its unique characters were a mixture of real emotion and magic, the unpredictable plot made us want to read more. We truly recommend this book to any reader who likes fantasy, emotion and magic.
