Mr. Barsin’s Toy Emporium by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Alison Risher

Mr. Barsins’ Toy Emporium by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an atypical story concerned with a toy store for atypical toys. There is nothing mundane or ordinary in this story. What you will find are interlocking tales of families working together and children learning to make difficult choices. Characters learn to work together, sometimes reluctantly, to help themselves and others out of a catastrophic situation amidst a hurricane evacuation. Themes include man versus man, man versus self, and man versus nature.
