Sinossi
Un libro di narrativa per bambini e bambine dagli 11 anni, perfetto per tutti gli amanti degli enigmi e dei racconti avvincenti e ricchi di mistero. Una storia magica sulla bellezza e l'incanto di un mondo pieno di libri e di avventure. Per Pearl e Vally la Cole's Book Arcade è la libreria di famiglia, ma in realtà il negozio è molto di più: è la più grande libreria del mondo e insieme un emporio traboccante di curiosità e meraviglie. Qui è possibile assaporare tè cinese di finissima qualità e assaggiare caramelle che fanno cambiare voce, trovare libri illustrati a misura di cliente e passeggiare in una foresta tropicale in compagnia di pappagalli parlanti. Un giorno, però, Pearl e Vally scoprono che il padre ha concluso un accordo con un uomo misterioso pronto a impadronirsi della libreria. E così i due ragazzi si trovano coinvolti in un gioco pericoloso: dovranno risolvere sette enigmi prima dello scoccare della mezzanotte. Se riusciranno nell'impresa, riavranno il negozio, altrimenti lo perderanno per sempre e dimenticheranno che sia mai esistito. Età di lettura: da 11 anni.

Recensioni
The Grandest Bookshop in the World is a fictional magical realism novel, but it is based on a real bookshop that existed in Melbourne in 1883. The Cole family and all its members were real as well. Ruby Cole did die at the same age in the book from scarlet fever. Also, just as in the novel, the book Leggi tutto
I really wanted to like this book more than I did. It’s set in Melbourne my hometown, it’s about a bookshop and I hoped it to be a great read. But sadly it just did not appeal. I couldn’t understand why these people had magical abilities; it just made no sense and there was no explanation. I really Leggi tutto
The Grandest Bookshop in the World is one of the cutest middle grade books I’ve ever read. I love how Amelia incorporated the history of Cole’s Book Arcade, the Cole family and Melbourne into the story. It was incredible to learn more about the city I live in and I really wish Cole’s Book Arcade was Leggi tutto
What a lovely book. I admit, it took me some time to get into it. I found the start very slow but it’s hard to say if that was the books fault or just the lingering effects of my reading slump. However, once the book gets underway it’s a joy. Based on the real Cole’s Book Arcade in Melbourne, The Gr Leggi tutto
Sorry but I just could not give this book more than one star. I’ve read various genres lately but I just found this so boring and could not get into the story at all even from the beginning. I hung in there hoping it would get better but nope for me. I know it’s a young adult book but 🤷♀️ I could n Leggi tutto
Love the fact this book was set in what used to be a real shop in Melbourne and loosely uses the original Cole family to tell a fictional tale. It’s a children’s story with a dark-ish magical mystery that must be solved within the time limit, at the risk of losing it all. And of course, there’s the Leggi tutto
My son is not old enough for this but have been reading it to my wife instead! Full of fun and mystery and love the accuratehistorical twost tied into the tale.
