The Vanishing Bookstore

A spellbinding and unputdownable page-turner

'Every story needs a happy ending. And you can't have yours until you find the bookstore.'

1692. On the outskirts of Salem, a bookstore stands covered in overgrown vines. A young woman rushes out, panicked by the sound of hounds in the distance. The bookstore vanishes.

Present day. In a pale-pink house on one of the oldest streets in Salem, Dora can't believe she's about to finally meet the mother she thought died tragically when she was just a child. But Dora's mother tells her they are both in danger.

Desperate not to lose her mother all over again, Dora digs into her family's mysterious past, and stumbles upon a seemingly impossible secret: the key to their survival is hidden in a bookstore that no one has seen for generations.

Readers will lose themselves in the mesmerising magic of this absorbing and utterly unputdownable page-turner. Perfect for fans of Weyward, The Lost Apothecary and Practical Magic.
