    Here is a novel all about one bookshop and its resident cats, Stomper and Buglit; and about Kris, a 12-year-old boy who apprentices in the shop. Kris is a little bit like the cats: he’s a foster child getting used to a new family, and the cats are in the bookshop being fostered for the local shelter. Stomper and Buglit are a little bit like Kris: they get into trouble, have some wild adventures, and find out just what family really means. This is the first book in the Turning Pages series of used bookshop novels.Unlike some novels that have a used bookshop setting, Shelve Under C has the shop, its owners, its apprentice, its customers and, especially, its cats as the beating heart of this fuzzy beast. Come inside and breathe in the wonderful book smells of leather and paper and cloth. Pet the resident foster cats (and maybe take one home!). Sit near the sunny windows on one of the comfy chairs to read all afternoon. Or flip through the new arrivals and rare books and browse all of the books, old and new, in the loads of bookcases in No Page Unturned's several packed rooms.The main stars of this book are Stomper and Buglit. That's what they would tell you, anyway. Stomps is a grump, but he may have a tender middle. Bug is new to the bookshop. She misses her former owner, but Mrs. O'Malley is making her life less lonesome and Buglit, in return, is becoming very important to the bookshop owners in some funny and surprising ways. Kris is trying hard to fit into his new foster family, but even after several months he still feels like an outsider. He becomes an apprentice at the bookshop, where he gradually finds a way to fit back into his own world as well as into his foster family's. Shelve Under C is a little bit squishy. It's also funny, with hints of rockabilly, wild storms, doggy bucking broncos, catnip capers, near-deadly chicken salad sandwiches, and . . . books! No need to knock -- the door is open, so come on in, grab something to read, and get comfy on the big, red sofa.
