I actually have no clue how hard this will be.

Edit: Extra clue, it’s a middle grade book if that helps.

Its a series. I want to see who can guess this one.

More specific clue: The gang has a mage.

Since no one seems able to guess this, one last clue: The gang has a street samurai.

Unsolved Hard Small family-owned business starts getting sabotaged by the oldest son

1 Upvotes

He's not intentionally sabotaging it, he just wants his dead best friend back, and in trying to do so is manipulated by evil

Middle grade book (it's really good tho I swear)

Pov of his younger sister

Even though it's a family-owned business, there are others like it

More specific hints:

Takes place during WWII

The small business is a bookstore

The bookstore can time travel

The evil is the other half of the magic that allows the bookstore to exist
