Class book – The Nowhere Emporium by Ross MacKenzie

The shop from nowhere arrived with the dawn on a crisp November
morning.
Word travelled quickly around the village, and by midday the place
was abuzz with rumour and hearsay.
“There were four shops in the row yesterday. Today there are five!”
“Did you hear? It sits between the butcher’s and the ironmonger’s…”
“The brickwork is black as midnight, and it sparkles strangely in the
light!”
