The Life Shop

The Life Shop

by Margaret Mc Allister (Author)

Synopsis

Buyer beware! The price of a bargain may be higher than you think. Everyone is thrilled by the Life Shop catalogue. It sells everything - from cat baskets to cruises to career plans - and all a great price. Lorna alone cannot understand why her friends, neighbours and even her normally sensible Mum are obsessed by the Life Shop. She realises that its customers seem to be losing their individuality. Are the enticing products costing more than is apparent? More importantly, Lorna is also concerned about her disabled brother - how does he fit into the Life Shop's all too perfect world? An original and compelling novel for 10s to young teens.
