A review by karenholmes
The Left-Handed Booksellers of London by Garth Nix

4.0

Imagine a story told by Roald Dahl but aimed at young adults instead of children. There is some more hints about arousal and there are deaths and the main characters kill other characters.
Imagine an alternate world in 1980s where there were a special kind of booksellers who also acted as guardians of the new world in front of magic and myths trying to keep them separate.
This is what Susan stumbles upon when she comes from Bath to London and once she knows the left handed bookseller Merlin, a boy in a pretty dress, she can't stop knowing what she knows and will have to follow through.
Imaginative and with lots of potential for a sequel!
