Summary from A. J.'s website
In the picture
postcard village of Blossom Brook, Eliza Bluebell arrives changing the
lives of the locals forever. With the help of her playful shadow, Eliza
takes on an empty shop on the High Street and turns it into the heart
and soul of the village. Find out how and read this fantastical story
about friendship and fairy cakes.
Nayu's thoughts
Eliza is one special girl who finds out what people's problems are, acts like a fairy godmother and makes those problems disappear only then to disappear herself. That was the only part of the book I wasn't keen on, her vanishing just as she'd made everything so wonderful. I kept hoping that she would stay, because everyone eventually grew to love her. She cares so much for people, wanting to make them comfortable and happy which are good characteristics to have.

I loved how fondly people spoke of her,
and admired Eliza for her selfless nature. Yes I deducted a grade
because I didn't quite like the end, but in truth this is a superb
read, full of magic, hope, and the kindness of humanity. I hope other
readers are inspired by Eliza and do what they can to help others –
and not disappear!!
