Description
"Archie Sharp's second visit to his grandfather's house that summer was a lot less pleasant than the first. But we will get to the second visit later."
Get ready for an adventure like no other in Archie & The Invisible Emporium!
When his parents abandon him at Grandpa's house for the summer, curious Archie Sharp finds himself shockingly offline and alone with no one for company except a grumpy old man and a strange tree that may or may not want to eat him. Disaster.
But Archie has other plans. He's already found a secret key and a way to escape to the weird world of the Invisible Emporium - a place where time flows differently, magical beings come for supplies and the mysterious storekeeper Enoch is looking for a new assistant... Little does he know it, but Archie has begun a series of events that will truly test his courage and wit.
As Archie navigates the eccentric characters, magical creatures and surprising capers of the Otherworld, he starts to see that he has traded one life-threatening situation for another. Someone who once loved the Emporium now wants to destroy it. And to save Enoch's magical store from crumbling to dust, Archie must join a mission to find the missing assistant, rescue the glowing heart stone and even save some souls - and in the process cure Grandpa of his grumpiness.
Archie & The Invisible Emporium is the opening book of the 'Our Weird World' series of surprising, suspenseful and strange stories for middle grade readers aged 8-12 - although you can read the series in any order. Fans of Harry Potter, Amari & The Night Brothers, Keeper Of The Lost Cities and The Dark Is Rising will love this mix of real-world problems with paranormal themes. And if you enjoyed books by Ross Wexford, Ross Montgomery, or Neil Gaiman, you won't want to miss Archie & The Invisible Emporium.
"Enoch gave a low growl. 'I've been robbed!' he rasped. 'And time is back!' He almost spat the words out, unable to raise his voice above a loud whisper. 'Time is back, and everything will go to ruin!'"
