Daniel is an orphan on the streets of Glasgow, Scotland,
just trying to avoid the bullies who are set on torturing him. When he stumbles into the amazing and
mysterious store, the proprietor is curt and orders him out. The next day, however, Daniel enters the
store again – something Mr. Silver, the proprietor, was never expecting. Because no one is supposed to remember their
time in the Emporium. There must be
something special about Daniel – something Mr. Silver has been waiting a long
time for. Now Daniel has a chance to
learn all about the magic of the Emporium and its inhabitants. MR. Silver has many, many secrets – secrets
and an enemy who may spell the end of everything Daniel has grown to love.
As I was reading this, it brought to mind The Night Circus
by Erin Morgenstern. While this is meant
for a younger audience, it certainly has a rich portrayal of dueling magicians
too. I was carried away and well pleased
with the reading.
