About this ebook

When the mysterious Nowhere Emporium arrives in Glasgow, orphan Daniel Holmes stumbles upon it quite by accident. Before long, the 'shop from nowhere' -- and its owner, Mr Silver -- draw Daniel into a breathtaking world of magic and enchantment.

Recruited as Mr Silver's apprentice, Daniel learns the secrets of the Emporium's vast labyrinth of passageways and rooms -- rooms that contain wonders beyond anything Daniel has ever imagined.

But when Mr Silver disappears, and a shadow from the past threatens everything, the Emporium and all its wonders begin to crumble.

Can Daniel save his home, and his new friends, before the Nowhere Emporium is destroyed forever?

Scottish Children's Book Award winner Ross MacKenzie unleashes a riot of imagination, colour and fantasy in this astonishing adventure, perfect for fans of Philip Pullman, Corneila Funke and Neil Gaiman.

    In the beginning, i thought it would end up being like all the other books about magic shops, but it took a turn after about 50 pages and ended up very compelling. An enjoyable read that pulled me all the way through to the end, waiting to see what would happen.

    This was a fantastic, magical books that is perfect for grade 4 and up, although I enjoyed it so much as an adult! The Nowhere Emporium arrives in Glasgow and orphaned Daniel finds the shop quite by accident. Before long, the 'shop from nowhere' -- and its owner, Mr Silver -- draw Daniel into a breathtaking world of magic and enchantment. The books is just the right length. I also have read the Night Circus and this book was compared to it quite a bit. Too me, it was a bit similar, but it definitely has its own plot with twists and turns. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this book. It was full of imagination, colour and fantasy. A definite recommendation to read! I received a complimentary copy via Netgalley.com.
