Sweetshop of Dreams is a novel that takes place in Victorian England which tells the story of a skilled seamstress who dreams of owning her own shop. When Lord Eldon decides to build a huge factory in her town, she sees her chance to finally realize her dream. The end result is not what she expected as the factory's owners are not happy with her and she finds herself faced with impossible choices.

As a girl in a small mining town, Jenny Colgan faced the reality of working in a sweetshop. Working six days a week, twelve hours per day and having to make her own entertainment at weekends. This is until she discovered her talent for writing. Now Jenny is an award-winning author of both children's books and novels and has published over forty titles.

The author of the book, Jenny Colgan, was inspired to write this novel because she had been "addicted to sugar." The story is told from the point of view of a twelve-year-old child living in a dystopian future. An invasive operation has been done on her and she has been given two personalities: one that can act as an adult and another that can only dream. In order to survive in this world, she needs to have dreams for a family.

"Sweet, comforting, and a little strange." That's how two hundred thousand people describe the fantasy-themed sweetshop, Big Teeth. Jenny Colgan's debut novel is a darkly humorous story of magic spells, culinary mishaps, and trying to sell something you probably shouldn't be selling.
