"Archie Sharp's second visit to his grandfather's house that summer was a lot less pleasant than the first. But we will get to the second visit later."
Get ready for a unique adventure with Archie And The Invisible Emporium!
When his parents abandon him at Grandpa's house for the summer, Archie Sharp finds himself shockingly offline and alone with no one for company except a grumpy old man and a strange tree that may or may not want to eat him. Disaster.
But Archie has other plans. He's already found a secret key and a way to escape to the weird world of the Invisible Emporium - a place where time flows differently, magical beings shop for supplies and the mysterious storekeeper Enoch is looking for a new assistant...
Little does he know it, but Archie has begun a series of events that will truly test his courage, nerves and wits. Surrounded by the crazy characters, creatures and capers of the Otherworld, he's simply traded one life-threatening situation for another and must join a mission to find the missing assistant, rescue the glowing heart stone and save a few dead souls. If he fails, the magical Emporium will crumble to dust and his Grandpa will always be grumpy.
Archie & The Invisible Emporium is the opening book of the 'Our Weird World' series of surprising, suspenseful and strange stories for middle grade readers aged 8-12 - although you can read the series in any order. Fans of Harry Potter, Amari & The Night Brothers, Keeper Of The Lost Cities and The Dark Is Rising will love this mix of real-world problems with paranormal themes. And if you enjoyed books by Ross Wexford, Ross Montgomery or Neil Gaiman, you won't want to miss Archie & The Invisible Emporium.
"Enoch gave a low growl. 'I've been robbed!' he rasped. 'And time is back!' He almost spat the words out, unable to raise his voice above a loud whisper. 'Time is back, and everything will go to ruin!'"
