4-6Enchanted Emporium series.
Illustrated by
Iacopo Bruno.
In book two, fourteen-year-old Finley McPhee, defender of the Enchanted Emporium (a shop that sells magical objects), looks to the Lily family for help in uncovering the identity of the mystical man behind strange goings-on in Finley's Scottish village. Short chapters and quirky characters somewhat redeem the story's truncated ending. Black-and-white illustrations of magical objects with descriptions are placed before chapters.
