The little Paris bookshop
by Nina George
The Little Paris Bookshop is a book about ghosts, but it's not scary. It's a book about love, but it's not romantic. It's a book about books: how they make us feel, not what they make us think. It's about a bookshop that floats on water, but never goes anywhere. Until one day when it does and the whole world changes.
