Review
Mim, together with her Dad and her little brother Nat, are the current keepers of the magical Travelling Bookshop. It has been in the family since forever.
They travel to places where something needs fixing, providing books to customers that they may not think that they want, but that they definitely need. Always making their lives better, as only books can do!
We journey to the Netherlands on this adventure, where Mim meets Willemina, who is constantly being bullied by Gerda.
How can the visitors magically make the lives of all they encounter better, and fix Willemina and Gerda’s problem?
This is a delightful early chapter book that is filled to the brim with goodness. Aimed at emerging readers who will eagerly await future additions to the series.
