The Polka Dot Shop

Hi! I am taking a break on the Baby-sitters club, and l will start doing them again in April. I hope you enjoy this book review on The Polka Dot Shop!

Author- Laurel Remington
Genre- Fiction
Theme- Persistence
Please comment and provide some ideas that you would like for the above list. I thought of theme (but if you do not have an idea, you do not have to comment).

This book is about how Andy (she is actually a girl, Andy is short for Andrea) does not like vintage clothes. However, Andy's mum owns an op shop with pre-loved, pre-owned clothes.  Everything Andy's mum wears is NEVER almost never new. Andy barely got anything new, she only got new clothes that were sent by Aunt Linda  (Aunt Linda lives in a different state to Andy and her mum). To make matters worse her dad died a long, long time ago so Andy's mum (Eliza) can not do anything else except for running her op shop and falls into depression. By the way the shop is named Eliza's Emporium. Then Andy's (Andrea if you forget she is a girl) school announced that the school is not going to have uniforms anymore! Andy (Andrea) gets scared because all her clothes are pre-owned and pre-loved and her school uniform was basically ger protection from her mums store. During that time Andy's friends, started being mean to Andy and in the book Andy's "Friends" were called Fashion police, you either got a thumbs up 👍or thumbs down 👎. But everything changes when she finds a designers bag, in the back of Eliza's Emporium and everything starts to change at last.

Sorry l know that was a very long paragraph, but lets get started on the star rating!

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because Andy NEVER gave up on transforming the Emporium, well most of the time she does not give up anyway. That is also the reason l gave this book the theme of persistence.

The question of the blog is ... if you got to decorate/redesign the Emporium what would it look like? I personally think I would start by getting rid of everything and painting the walls white and start from there.

Hope you enjoyed this post! Love-bookworm blog 💕
