Shelve Under C: A Tale of Used Books and Cats

This first novel in the Turning Pages series tells the story of Mack and Mavis O'Malley, owners of a used bookshop that fosters cats for the local shelter. The O'Malleys take on a young apprentice, Kris, who is also being fostered but is having trouble adjusting to life with his new family. Through his work at the bookshop and a friendship with the O'Malleys and the cats, Kris changes from a shy and sad kid to a confident, happy member of two families. The book is filled with the ins and outs of used bookselling, cat antics, and warm hearts.

Shelve Under C captures the real spirit of a used bookstore, but its owners, apprentice, customers, and, especially, its cats are its beating heart. The book is full of endearing characters, a wild storm, a doggy bucking bronco, catnip capers, an almost-deadly chicken salad sandwich, and . . . books! No need to knock--the door is open. Come on in, grab something to read, and get comfy on the big, red sofa with a foster cat. Be sure to continue the series with The Find of a Lifetime, Bindings, A Calico in Catnip, and Plot Twist.
