For readers aged 13 through adult. The O'Malleys have fostered
dozens of cats in their bookshop over the past several years, but a
new arrival named Regular is unlike any of their previous feline
guests. This is Regular's tale, but it is also Mack and Mavis
O'Malley's. It is about two "finds of a lifetime" Kris, their young
apprentice, opens a box to reveal a book that may be so valuable
that it could make national headlines, and the O'Malleys discover
something even more wonderful that will change their lives forever.
This novel continues the adventures of the O'Malleys and the
customers, neighbors, friends and cats of their used & rare
bookshop. Their funny and touching story, and Kris', began in the
first book of the Turning Pages series: Shelve Under C: A Tale of
Used Books and Cats. This fun and heartfelt book invites you to
visit everyone again inside No Page Unturned. Grab a good book and
curl up with a cat on the big, red sofa where you'll be comfortable
for as long as you'd like to stay. The Find of a Lifetime is
waiting to be discovered by animal and book enthusiasts, and by
those who believe that anyone can have a second chance at love.
A novel for everyone, Shelve Under C is a big, leaning stack of
humor, heart, stray cat hairs and book dust. Used bookshops often
have a cat or two roaming the aisles, sleeping on the shelves, or
sleeping on the customers. Here is a novel all about one bookshop
and its resident cats, Stomper and Buglit; and about Kris, a
12-year-old boy who apprentices in the shop. Kris is a little bit
like the cats: he's a foster child getting used to a new family,
and the cats are being fostered in the bookshop for the local
shelter. Stomper and Buglit are a little bit like Kris: they get
into trouble, have some wild adventures, and find out just what
being part of a family really means. Unlike some novels that have a
bookstore setting, Shelve Under C has the real spirit of the store,
its owners, its apprentice, its customers and, especially, its cats
as the beating heart of this fuzzy beast. It's full of wonderful
characters, a wild storm, a doggy bucking bronco, catnip capers, an
almost-deadly chicken salad sandwich, and . . . books No need to
knock -- the door is open. So come on in, grab something to read,
and get comfy on the big, red sofa.
