This fiction book was gripping, tense and amazing. My favourite character was Lucien Silver because he was so mysterious and was the creator of the nowhere emporium. I would definitely recommend this book to children in y5&6.

It took me a while to get into this book as I don't tend to read things that are fantastical but having bought it as a gift for a friend, I decided to read it too. Some dark things happen but I think as an adult, you picture them more graphically and read more into them than if you were a younger reader. I liked the dynamics of the two central characters, Daniel and Ellie, and enjoyed how the plot was exposed in a back and forth way. Once I had found my way in, I read the book quickly, wanting to explore the emporium and unravel the mystery with the characters.

Wow what a great little find. Read for next terms English lessons and Surprised myself with how much I enjoyed it. Loved the simplicity of it but the language used and the amount of great lead in was out standing. Next on my book pile is The elsewhere Emporium!! It was a fictional book which was powered by imagination. My favourite character was Daniel as he was a fistic,gutsy boy.
