Sinopse

In "Vinzi," Johanna Spyri delivers a poignant tale that intertwines the themes of innocence, identity, and the enduring bond between humans and nature. Written in her signature lyrical style, Spyri employs vivid imagery and a heartfelt narrative to explore the journey of a young boy who is deeply connected to the alpine landscape of Switzerland. The novel is set against the backdrop of 19th-century European pastoral, capturing the idyllic yet challenging life of rural communities in a rapidly modernizing world, while emphasizing the values of compassion and understanding that transcend societal barriers. Johanna Spyri, best known for her beloved classic "Heidi," draws from her deep affection for the Swiss landscape and her insights as a schoolteacher to craft stories that resonate with children and adults alike. Her own experiences and observations about the complexity of human relationships and the simplicity of nature shine through in her writing. This personal connection to her subject matter informs the authentic and relatable characters that populate her narratives, making them timeless in their appeal. "Vinzi" is a must-read for anyone yearning for a heartfelt exploration of childhood, belonging, and the transformative power of nature. With its engaging prose and rich emotional depth, it not only serves as a captivating tale for young readers but also offers profound reflections for adults, solidifying Spyri's place as a master storyteller.

    Jake and Willow return to the fairy-tale realm of Grimmworld to look for their missing father, only to find themselves battling the Big Bad Wolf in a world on the brink of war.   
    Willow and Jake have done the impossible and brought the first “happily ever after” to Grimmworld. But in the real world, their father is still missing, and the boundary between universes has grown even more fragile.   
    Determined to reunite their fractured family, the twins return to Grimmworld, only to be captured by fairies and forced to make an impossible choice: Steal the Wolf King’s gold claw and return it to the fairy queen in exchange for information about their father, or refuse and become the fairies’ eternal, soulless slaves.   
    But to steal the claw, Jake and Willow will have to undergo the Wolf Trials, a perilous series of tests and traps that will push the twins to their limits and beyond. It will take Willow’s strength, Jake’s intellect, and the love and friendship they share—and maybe a few treats from Red Riding Hood’s magical basket—to defeat the Big Bad Wolf, find the next clue to their father’s whereabouts, and perhaps even bring another “happily ever after” to Grimmworld.
