About This Book

‘A tender story about grief and a wonderful love letter to bookstores and booksellers. This book will touch your heart!' Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop

‘Enchanting and comforting all at once, this is a hug of a book ' Jamie Pacton, author of Homegrown Magic

*******************

There's magic in a book …

Max always felt too ordinary for the magical village of Lampton. No place more so than her mum's bookshop, where the recommendations are more than just a matter of taste – they're magic.

When Max's mum dies suddenly, she leaves her daughter Lamplight Books and makes one last wish: that Max would spend a year working in the bookshop before she sells it.

Max has no desire to uproot her busy life in the city to return to a place that always made her feel inadequate, but she can't ignore her mum's last request. So she decides on a trial run of two weeks – if she can't even last that long, then a year would be impossible…

About the author
