Synopsis
This first novel in the Turning Pages series tells the heartwarming story of Mack and Mavis O'Malley, owners of a small town used bookshop that fosters cats for the local shelter. The O'Malleys take on a 12-year-old apprentice, Kris, who is also being fostered but is having trouble adjusting to life with his new Hindu 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 love. Shelve Under C captures the real spirit of a used bookstore, but its owners, apprentice, customers and, especially, its cats are the beating heart of this fuzzy beast. The book is full of wonderful 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. So come on in, grab something to read, and get comfy on the big, red sofa. Be sure to continue the series with The Find of a Lifetime and Bindings., Used bookshops often have cats roaming their aisles, sleeping on their book stacks or sleeping on their customers. Here is a novel all about one bookshop and its cats, Stomper and Buglit; and about Kris, a 12-year-old boy who apprentices in the shop. Kris is a foster child getting used to a new family, and the cats in the bookshop are getting used to being fostered for the shelter until their own new families bring them home. Stomper, Buglit and Kris all get into trouble, have some wild adventures, and find out just what having a family really means. This is the first book in the Turning Pages series of used bookshop novels. Book 2, The Find of a Lifetime: Another Tale of Used Books and Cats, is now available. Shelve Under C's cozy used & rare bookshop, its owners the O'Malleys, its apprentice, its customers and, especially, its cats are the beating heart of this novel. The main stars of the story are Stomper and Buglit. Well, that's what they would tell you, anyway. Stomper is a grump, but he may be hiding a tender middle. Buglit was new to the bookshop. She missed her former owner, but Mrs. O'Malley made her life less lonesome and Buglit, in return, became very important to the bookshop owners in some funny and surprising ways. Kris tried hard to fit into his new foster family, but even after several months he still felt like an outsider. After he became an apprentice at the bookshop he gradually found a way to fit back into his own world as well as into his foster family's. Shelve Under C is witty without being sappy, and "as comfortable as a warm blanket on a cold night." It has wild storms, doggy bucking broncos, catnip capers, near-deadly chicken salad sandwiches, and . . . books! No need to knock -- the door is open. So come on in, grab something to read, and get comfy on the big, red sofa., "This novel is uplifting and cozy. The sentiments are deep and genuine, there is no cheesy greeting card pathos here.
