The Haunted Bookshop

The Haunted Bookshop is by Christopher Morley. A wonderful book written in 1919. Roger Mifflin runs a unique used bookshop in Brooklyn. When he meets Aubrey Gilbert, an advertising salesman, and takes on a new assistant, Miss Chapman, the daughter of a rich businessman, his life suddenly gets very exciting. From wonderful observations on books to German spies and bomb plots, this book is a thoroughly enjoyable read. The language may seem complicated, but it is well worth the effort.

Ratings: 9th grade - 10 out of 10.
