Reading Challenges: Netgalley Backlist'Such a heart-warming, wonderful little read that'll appeal to anyone who understands what it means to fall in love with stories' - 5***** Reader Review
There's a book written for every one of us...
Carl may be 72 years old, but he's young at heart. Every night he goes door-to-door delivering books by hand to his loyal customers. He knows their every desire and preference, carefully selecting the perfect story for each person.One evening as he makes his rounds, nine-year-old Schascha appears. Loud and precocious, she insists on accompanying him - and even tries to teach him a thing or two about books.
When Carl's job at the bookstore is threatened, will the old man and the girl in the yellow raincoat be able to restore Carl's way of life, and return the joy of reading to his little European town?
THE DOOR-TO-DOOR BOOKSTORE is a heart-warming tale of the value of friendship, the magic of reading, and the power of books to unite us all.

Review:
Oh my goodness! It’s the sweetest book ever! The quirky and colorful characters on the Book Walker’s route and how sweet nine-year-old changes them all for the better have to be excellent; add in all the literature and true-to-life drama, and the book is a masterpiece of a story. I savored every minute! Please read it and believe in goodness, karma, and positive change!
