Magazine Ms. Brackston skillfully provides readers with a neat
mystery-within-a-mystery, stuffed with historical details which
place us in the scene, and a steady pace which keeps us reading.
Xanthe is a winning, realistic heroine, with a promising future in
a new series proposed by Ms. Brackston. Thumbs up for The Little
Shop of Found Things! --Historical Novel Society Paula
Brackston gives us a delicious escape to a vividly-imagined 17th
century England. Sweet and haunting, The Little Shop of Found
Things will remind readers of Daphne du Maurier with perhaps a
hint of Nancy Drew. --Emily Croy Barker, author of The Thinking
Woman's Guide to Real Magic
After staying up late finishing The Little Shop of Found
Things, I had to write to tell you how much I thoroughly
enjoyed reading it! I found myself a little upset when it ended,
because I definitely want to know what happens to Xanthe, and if
she will make her way back to Samuel. As I was reading it, I could
not wait to steal a few moments here and there to be able to read
and immerse myself back in the story. How badly I felt for Alice,
and silently begged her to just tell where the items were! I was
surprised that I even found myself having empathy for Mistress
Lovewell, even though she was very disagreeable! As a mother, I
could imagine that I would have done anything to protect my family!
I loved that she left the flashlight. I can not wait to recommend
it to our adult readers at the store! --Kimberly Cake, Enchanted
Passage bookstore (Sutton, MA) Paula Brackston is back with what's
sure to be one of her most beloved titles yet! Xanthe has a special
ability to 'feel' an item's history and the emotions attached to it
from its previous owner. This gift brings Zanthe back in time to
the 1600s where she meets the love of her life, Samuel. Separated
by centuries, will they find their way back to each other? Here's
hoping this new series will provide the answer. Highly recommended.
--Marianne Colton, Lockport Public Library (Lockport, NY) The

gift for these kinds of stories. I can't wait for the next one!

time travel or are an Outlander fan I would recommend this novel
