BOOKSHOP GIRL CHLOE COLES
Bennett’s Bookshop has always been a haven for sixteen-year-old Paige Turner. It’s a place where she can escape from her sleepy hometown, hang out with her best friend, Holly, and also earn some money.
But, like so many bookshops, Bennett’s has become a ‘casualty of the high street’ – it’s strapped for cash and going to be torn down. Paige is determined to save it but mobilising a small town like Greysworth is no mean feat.
Time is ticking – but that’s not the only problem Paige has. How is she going to fend off the attractions of beautiful fellow artist, Blaine? And, more importantly, will his anarchist ways make or break her bookshop campaign
MY REVIEW
As I love books so much I just love the cover, with a stack of books it is really eye catching. I really enjoyed the theme of this story line. In reality it breaks my heart to see shops closing it doors for ever. In The Bookshop Girl, Sixteen year old Paige Turner works part time at Bennett’s Greysworth book shop. The branch regional manager calls all staff to a meeting. All staff are notified that in four weeks time Bennett’s Greysworth book store is being demolished. When a shop closes for good it effects all the staff who are going to be made redundant in different ways. It’s a very sad situation as many people work for all different reasons. And all the staff at Bennett’s book shop work there for the love of books. But Paige Turner has a plan she wants to save Bennett’s bookshop from closure. Will Paige Turner succeed? What will the outcome be? This is a book all book lovers will feel passionately about.
