Publisher Description
Otis has an antique shop crammed to the gills with stuff, so he’s delighted when someone comes in and buys it all. The following day, Suzie Gump arrives. The shop is empty—full of nothing—and Suzy loves it … and takes it all. Suzie has set a trend, and soon everybody is craving nothing—the stores are full of it. It’s only when there’s not even a towel for drying off after a bath that Suzie realizes she may have gone a bit too far.
