The Nowhere Emporium

about a boy named daniel who traveled around the world in different times

This story is about an orphan named Daniel. He is chased by Spud Harper a bully and found himself in the Nowhere Emporium. He met Lucien Silver there and returned the day after. Lucien was surprised because no customer would ever return since he took a part of their imagination away. Then one day, Lucien went missing and he got help from Ellie (Lucien’s daughter). They find out secrets of her father and outwit an old ancestor called Vindictus Sharpe. My favourite character is Ellie. I would recommend it to someone who likes mysteries and magic. Who has creativity and imagination.

This is my class reading book and every chapter is amazing and ends with a cliffhanger. I love how Ross MacKenzie goes from an enchanting chapter about Daniel and Ellie to a flashback about Lucien Silver as a teenager. I liked Ellie the best. You should read this book, every page will leave you wanting for more!

Daniel lives in an orphanage. One day he is hiding from some bullies when he comes across a shop. It is called the Nowhere Emporium. The owner of the shop does not expect him to come back, when he does, the owner (Mr Silver) asks him if he wants to join him. The Nowhere Emporium runs on imagination and is filled with wonders. As Daniel becomes a member of staff at the Emporium, he has to keep wonders going and balance the horrible truth about Vindictus Sharpe as well as worrying about Mr Silver's health.

There were a couple of twists, which I really enjoyed but it is a hit confusing at times.

This was a really exciting mysterious and excellent

Not my usual read but I loved it.

I didn't like the story

This magical, breathtaking story takes you to all periods of time. For this wondrous shop which is a miracle, is built entirely on pure magic. It's down to a chap called Mr Silver to run it but he is ageing and his enemy (Vindictus Sharpe) is getting closer to killing him and seizing the Nowhere Emporium. Though suddenly Silver finds an apprentice you goes by the name Daniel Holmes. Daniel can cast magic.

Fast forwarding to a few weeks later Sharpe has come. Daniel doesn't know it's him for Mr Silver has disappeared. Ellie, Silver's daughter (who is invisible) says he's danger though is ignored.

Can Daniel find Mr Silver? What will he face? Can he defeat Sharpe? What will happen? Read to find out!

A thrilling and engaging story set in a world of magic and wonder. Incredible, imaginative wonders which create magical images in the mind of the reader. It is a delight to see Daniel find a family whilst sharing his magical abilities with Mr Silver in The Nowhere Emporium. The villainous character of Vindictus Sharpe and past events which come back to visit Lucien leave plenty of cliff-hangers. The danger and climax is thrilling and enthralling. The characters are unique and complex and this adds to the wonder of the story. A wonderous story of fear and courage, life and death, bullying and friendship with a huge mix of creativity and imagination.

I LOVED this book it was full of mystery’s and it said you can go and bluck a hair out and they did get two and he kitted them in his head that’s crazy. My favourite character was this girl called Emily because she was super kind and sweet. I recommend this book to someone who loves mystery’s. This is a nonfiction book so it is made up. I loved this book. I would recommend reading it.

Wasn’t so good, my favourite part is when the shop first magically appeared and everyone was so confused.

I really enjoyed this book, it was a great imaginary world with a great villain.

Intruiging

I like the book because Daniel the main character was from Glasgow, like me.
He was very brave to take on the evil Vandictus Sharpe.
What I liked was the changing settings of the emporium.
I would recommend this book to others because, although it was hard to follow the story at times, it has challenging words and is a very imaginative book with lots of descriptions.

I am so happy that Daniel beet sharp in both challenges and saved silver but Siver did die at least Ellie got to walk outside with her dad for the first time and the last time it is a happy and sad story I would recomend it

Exiting and mystereous. Fun but sad. This was a great book and I loved it. Every chapter was exiting and i couldn`t wait to find out what would happen next.

Great characters

Really enjoyed this book. Fab characters and loved the idea of writing different worlds!

Very interesting and I reccomend I liked the character mr silver and I like those type of books

I would recommend this book as a nice alternative to the Harry Potter books. The book is full of imaginitive ideas and beautiful descriptions of settings.

It was really interesting to read and it made want to read the other books in that collection.

this book is very mysterious . I like the character Ellie because she was who led the Danial to the Emporium where there are no troubles.I would like to recommend this book to my friends .Its quiet interesting story.

I just loved this book!

I loved the mystery in this book and actually made me think of a link with magic. I would highly recommend and I think I read it all in 2 days I was so gripped.

What a fantastic book, especially for those of us teaching in Scottish schools! Ross Mackenzie’s wild imagination shines through and I hope I can use the book to get my class writing some wonders of their own!
The characters are amazing throughout but Daniel and Emily really encapsulate what a dynamic duo should be like in a children’s novel.
I will be lending this book to my class and looking out for the rest of the books in the trilogy!

A hugely imaginatibe story with wonderfully descriptive language. We follow the main character as he learns about his own abilities not only to create magical wonders but also how to form lasting meaningful relationships.
It's a story with all the classic elements of a good story: Mystery,magic,friendship and a nasty villain.
I'd highly recommend this to Primary aged children in Years 4+

It was magical and strange. Daniel Holmes was my favourite character. I would recommend it to people who are interested in magical and strange things.

Good book to read loved the story

This book is very interesting and intriguing. I rated it a 5 stars because nearly at the end of the book, there is betrayal and friendship and loyalty. Read this book!
