Carousel Square

<p>Dear reader: It's 2009 Minneapolis Minnesota. Chitchee Chichester works in a used bookstore called BookSmart at Lake & Hennepin in Uptown. By working there as an apprentice Chitchee intends to open his own used bookstore Ulysses & Sons. He quickly grasps the inner workings of the used book trade firsthand; in fact it's one unique character after another each one more eccentric than the other! And the entire Uptown neighborhood loves BookSmart. Meanwhile a local developer the Martensen People's Group has booked BookSmart for the wrecking ball. The rent-trapped owner can do nothing and the powers that be--politicians police developers and even criminals--have converged to eliminate the bookstore tossed about like a teapot in a tempest. But can a small band of garrulous geeks avid nerds and high-browed yokels save BookSmart? The Martensen People's Group already owns CAROUSEL SQUARE and the surrounding cookie-cutter condos faceless bars and malls with merry-go-round jobs for their niche stores. Or will CAROUSEL SQUARE stop the heartbeat of the neighborhood-its bookstore?</p>
