The Peoria Cooperative Academy high school department is proud to present, The Enchanted Bookshop, by Todd Wallinger.
This delightful, heartwarming story takes place in A Likely Story, a used bookstore with an owner, Margie, whose unflagging enthusiasm for life is superseded only by her unfailing belief in the the power of reading good stories.
Margie may be a little scatterbrained, but her heart is as good as gold. She has developed a habit of giving books away rather than selling them, because she "can't imagine a child not owning a book".
Margie's generosity, however, has put her business is in jeopardy.
If she doesn't make changes, the shop may close very soon.
What Margie doesn't know is that the real magic in her little shop happens at night. That's when the characters from her favorite novels come to life.
Aware of Margie's financial difficulties, Dorothy Gale, Robin Hood, Pollyanna, Sherlock Holmes, Heidi, and Tom Sawyer are joined by a host of other well-known story heroes and heroines as they prepare to do whatever they can to help their faithful owner keep the shop open.
However, the Book Fairy has an unbreakable decree.
All book characters must follow two very important rules.
- They cannot leave the shop
- They must never be seen by any humans.
If they stray from these dictates, these storybook friends will disappear forever.
The Plot Thickens
When a smuggler interrupts the storybook characters' late night meeting by breaking in and attempting to steal a priceless necklace hidden in one of the books, a difficult decision must be made.
Can they find a way to warn Margie of the danger?
And can they do it without allowing Margie to see them?
Misadventures may ensue!
This funny, delightful comedy is fun for the whole family.
The Enchanted Bookshop is filled with important lessons in friendship, goodwill, and the power of never giving up.
