Nia, a curious bookshop assistant who loves mysteries

A little bookshop on a busy high street, just before closing time

A box of new books has arrived, but its label has come unstuck

Idris checks the delivery note and finds the right shelf for every book

Kwame, a young reader searching for a funny adventure

The children's corner of the bookshop on a rainy afternoon

The storybook chosen for the weekend reading event cannot be found

Nia spots the book beneath a cushion and sets it out for the event

A sleepy cat called Marmalade who naps beside the till

The bookshop's stockroom early on a Saturday morning

A gust of wind scatters the hand-made book recommendations across the floor

Kwame and Idris gather the cards and arrange them back on the display
