Description

Welcome to Avril's Emporium, the greatest store on Earth and a cabinet of curiosities that just happens to be a portal between the human world and spirit realm. When Hannah stumbles across Avril's Emporium, she discovers a secret that has been hidden for centuries. The shopkeeper, Avril, is the Spirit of April Fool's Day and is part of an immortal race of guardian spirits that protects human festivals. Hannah becomes his apprentice and meets the Spirits who visit the shop - including Diya, Cupid, the Leprechaun and the Grim Reaper. When the Reaper discovers that Hannah is a human apprentice, he wreaks havoc on the Emporium. Can Hannah save the store with the help of the spirits of Deepavali and Valentine's Day?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hannah
Hannah is the youngest human to have visited the Spirit Realm, and she is the April Fool s first Apprentice.
Despite her youth, Hannah is brave, creative and intelligent. Her strong belief in magic will guide her on her magical adventures.

Avril
Avril is the Spirit of April Fool s Day. He guards a festival that is filled with fun and laughter.
He runs Avril s Emporium, a mystical shop that sells artifacts from our world, and many more from the ones beyond.
Although Avril may be mischievous at times, he truly cares for both humans and the Spirits, and is loyal towards his friends.

Diya
Diya is the Spirit of Deepavali s Apprentice, and is destined to protect a festival that celebrates the triumph of good over evil.
As a guardian of Deepavali, Diya is filled with life and enthusiasm, and constantly strives to do what is right.

Cupid
Cupid is the Spirit of Valentine s Day. He guards a festival that commemorates love and romance.
Aside from being a great friend, Cupid is also a skilled archer, and a terrific aviator. His powerful wings allow him to fly all over the world, and his enchanted arrows have helped humans find true love.
For as long as Hannah could remember, empty alleyways were the only things that sat across the street where she lived.
However, on the day that this story begins, Hannah noticed that these alleyways had disappeared, and a massive building had appeared in their place.
At first, Hannah assumed that the building had come from another world. Its walls were painted with the colours of the rainbow, and the tiles on its roof shimmered like diamonds. It stretched halfway across the street, and towered miles above the ground.
Hannah stared at the building and thought: How did something so large appear overnight ?

That wasn t the only thing that puzzled Hannah. One signboard - a wooden panel with a painted jester - hung above the building s entrance. Other than that, nothing told her what lay behind its walls.
Nonetheless, Hannah was determined to find out.
The next evening, while Hannah s parents were still at work, she decided to enter the peculiar building.
When Hannah stepped through its giant doors, she was swept off her feet.
Golden walls stretched towards a lofty ceiling, and the evening sun shone through a series of giant windows. Crimson banners hung from wooden balconies, and spiralled stairways linked the building s floors.
Several display cases were scattered across the room, and they were all filled with antiques. Tiny Chinese trishaws, African Koto masks and dolls that were dressed in Indonesian kebayas sat upon their shelves.

The summer heat must have been making Hannah s head spin, because she thought that she saw a doll waving at her.
A loud thud echoed from behind Hannah. Startled, she turned around to face the source of the noise.
Oddly enough, the only thing that sat behind her was a wooden counter. Other than that, it didn t seem like anyone was there.

THUD!
Something hit the bottom of the counter.
OW! a voice exclaimed. I hate these hidden entrances!
To Hannah s surprise, a teenage boy emerged from beneath the table. Oddly enough, the boy was wearing a jester s hat, and he looked just like the painted fool on the building s wooden signboard.
The boy s odd attire wasn t the only thing that caught Hannah s attention. The boy cradled a cardboard box in his arms and Hannah could have sworn that it was glowing.
Suddenly, the boy s eyes fell on Hannah.
Oh, man, he stammered.
The boy ran his fingers through his tangled hair, trying (and failing) to neaten it. He straightened his clothes, adjusted his hat and placed his box on the counter.
Hannah gasped as a series of sparks sprung from within the box. The sparks crackled in the air, and dissolved as quickly as they had appeared.
I didn t expect to have company, the boy murmured to himself. I don t see many customers during the day.
Hannah raised an eyebrow. What did he mean by that ?
Is this place a shop? Hannah asked.
A shop ? The boy winced, almost as if Hannah had insulted him. Ah - no. This isn t just a shop. It s the shop.
The boy raised his eyebrows and waited for a reaction. Hannah simply gave him a blank stare.
You have no idea where you are, do you? The boy burst into laughter.
Hannah shook her head.
Little lady, you re standing in Avril s Emporium! the boy proclaimed. This is a store that sells every antique and artifact from your world, and many more from the ones beyond. Let me show you my collection.
Oh, you don t have to do that, Hannah raised her hands, I m not here to buy anyth -
Perhaps I can interest you in one of these, the boy said.
He ducked beneath the counter, and emerged with a tiny hourglass. The sand within it shimmered with light.
This hourglass was once used to hold the Sands of Time, the boy explained.
