"A warm, whimsical delight--The Left-Handed Booksellers of London
is a witty, clever adventure in an exquisitely detailed world you
will love escaping into." --Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times
bestselling author of the Divergent series and the Carve the Mark
series
"This is my favorite kind of tale, one where the magic and the real
nest together like pages in a book. A delightful read." --V.E.
Schwab, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of the Shades of Magic
series and the Monsters of Verity series
"Readers will beg for more adventures in this London." -- Kirkus
Reviews
"Susan Arkshaw - 18, white-blonde buzz cut, Hendrix t-shirt - goes
in search of the father she's never met, but things go awry when a
hatpin-wielding, gender-fluid bookseller kills the one person who
might hold the clue to his whereabouts. Set in London in 1983, this
riveting urban fantasy delivers on all fronts: a magical, curious
world brimming with nostalgia and references to the author's loves
- ancient evil, books, reading, Susan Cooper, Tolkien, London
taxis, incidental diversity. This is the book for anyone who has
ever said "I don't read fantasy". Nix confirms that booksellers are
extraordinary beings with special powers." -- Fran Atkinson, Sydney
Morning Herald
