Book Overview
"This novel is uplifting and cozy. The sentiments are deep and genuine, there is no cheesy greeting card pathos here. It has an impact on your emotions."
"I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found myself very conscious of a smile on my face as I read it. The themes make you feel good, and a fun and wholesome tale unfolds at a pleasing pace. It's not a thriller to leave you on the edge of your seat but it always leaves you curious about what happens next. If you want to escape for a while from the sad realities of the day and read something light and fun, treat yourself to this happy tale of cats, kids, and good folk. You won't be disappointed." This first novel in the Turning Pages series tells the story of Mack and Mavis O'Malley, owners of a used bookshop that fosters cats for the local shelter. The O'Malleys take on a young apprentice, Kris, who is also being fostered but is having trouble adjusting to life with his new family. Through his work at the bookshop and a friendship with the O'Malleys and the cats, Kris changes from a shy and sad kid to a confident, happy member of two families. The book is filled with the ins and outs of used bookselling, cat antics, and warm hearts. Shelve Under C captures the real spirit of a used bookstore, but its owners, apprentice, customers, and, especially, its cats are its beating heart. The book is full of endearing characters, a wild storm, a doggy bucking bronco, catnip capers, an almost-deadly chicken salad sandwich, and . . . books No need to knock--the door is open. Come on in, grab something to read, and get comfy on the big, red sofa with a foster cat. Be sure to continue the series with The Find of a Lifetime, Bindings, A Calico in Catnip, and Plot Twist.
