The Bell on Maple Street (A Birch Falls Prequel)
$1.00
Birch Falls, Vermont, 1974. Rosalind Hart buys a cracked brass school bell for two dollars and opens a bookshop nobody thinks will last.
Then books start moving around the shop at night. Nothing is stolen, but someone is getting in, and the peppermints keep disappearing. Rosie sits up in the dark to find out who, with the quiet carpenter who's been fixing her shelves all summer. She finds a small mystery, a first love, and the reason a key sat under the flowerpot by the back door for the next fifty years.
The story of Aunt Rosie before Dog-Eared Books became a Birch Falls landmark. Charming read first, and heartbreaking read after Murder at the Maple Street Bookshop.
