Summary
Arlo Goodman lives with his Uncle Avery in a run-down flat above their bookshop。 He has no friends， except for his pet mouse， Herbert。
But when a girl called Lisette bursts into the shop and begs him to hide her from a murderer， Arlo's life changes forever。
He's swept up into an adventure involving kidnappers， car chases and a story in The Book of Wondrous Possibilities， where Arlo and his skymouse battle dragons。 But can Arlo find the courage to battle an even greater enemy， who threatens to destroy everything he loves？
A middle grade adventure for 8–12-year-old heroes （even if they don’t know it yet）。

When you're a reader， a good book evokes memories of other good books。 As I read 'The Book of Wondrous Possibilities'， I found that the warm memory of these books flashed into my mind: 'Library Mouse' （Kirk）， 'Fearless Fredric' （Arena）， 'The Grandest Bookshop in the World' （Mellor）， 'All the Light We Cannot See' （Doerr）。Books that have interesting plots and heartfelt characters are my favourite。 Arlo， Lisette and Viola are wonderful young characters， but Herbert， Arlo's wingman。。。er。。。wingmouse， When you're a reader， a good book evokes memories of other good books。 As I read 'The Book of Wondrous Possibilities'， I found that the warm memory of these books flashed into my mind: 'Library Mouse' （Kirk）， 'Fearless Fredric' （Arena）， 'The Grandest Bookshop in the World' （Mellor）， 'All the Light We Cannot See' （Doerr）。Books that have interesting plots and heartfelt characters are my favourite。 Arlo， Lisette and Viola are wonderful young characters， but Herbert， Arlo's wingman。。。er。。。wingmouse， is adorable。Deborah Abela has achieved what she set out to do - write a 'love letter' about books to those who cherish books。 。。。more

The opening scene of this book is filled with tension - a tension that is sustained right through the whole book - it's a thrilling read。 Arlo lives in an old， messy bookshop with this Uncle Avery。 Arlo lives a quiet life reading books from the shop with his pet mouse Herbert for company。 Then， as the story opens， a young girl bursts into the shop。 She is in a panic because someone is trying to catch and hurt her。 Arlo only just manages to hide the girl， Lisette， before the evil Silas Gray burst The opening scene of this book is filled with tension - a tension that is sustained right through the whole book - it's a thrilling read。 Arlo lives in an old， messy bookshop with this Uncle Avery。 Arlo lives a quiet life reading books from the shop with his pet mouse Herbert for company。 Then， as the story opens， a young girl bursts into the shop。 She is in a panic because someone is trying to catch and hurt her。 Arlo only just manages to hide the girl， Lisette， before the evil Silas Gray bursts into the shop。 He wants the book that Lisette has bought for Arlo - it contains a story written for Arlo by his dead mother。 Someone has sent Silas。 They want this book。 Silas is the messenger but who wants Le Livre des Possibilities Merveilleuses （The book of Wondrous Possibilties） and why？ And what does Arlo need to discover from reading the story written by his precious mother？There are some wonderful rich words in this book: nefarious; capacious; perilous; boisterous; precarious; treacherous; charismatic; gormless; and boorish。 Deborah Abela creates wonderful character descriptions。 I highly recommend this book for readers aged 10+。 It could also be a terrific class serial novel or a family read aloud choice。 I'd like to send Deborah Abela a slice a homemade Banana cake as a thank you for a most enjoyable reading experience。 If you can find an older book by Deborah Abela - The Remarkable Secret of Aurelie Bonhoffen it would be the perfect companion read。 Thanks to Beachside Books （Avalon） for my advance reader copy。 Read more on my blog: http://momotimetoread。blogspot。com/ 。。。more
