This is a quirky little story. The description intrigued me enough that I requested a library copy, and while I didn‘t completely fall in love with it, I find it easy to imagine that I would have, had I read this as a child.

BookNAround I think we still have this one on the kid book shelf here. The kids were willing to give it up but I thought I might want to read it sometime before we gave it away. 5y
IndoorDame @BookNAround definitely worth reading I think 5y

I must read this! Apparently it‘s about a bookworm who accidentally switches suitcases with dad and ends up stranded with no books, in a town with no bookstore! Then mysterious nighttime reading begins to appear... #bluevelvet #namastenovember @Eggs
