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.
