Sinopse

The Tuscia Notebooks
A journey through Tuscia on the wings of tales from the past, told to young readers, to preserve the memory and identity of every region.Viterbo (Vetèrbe in the local Viterbese dialect), the capital of the province of the same name in northern Lazio, also known as Tuscia, is located on the lower slopes of the Cimini Mountains and extends westward into the final stretch of the Maremma plain. Its origins are ancient (it is believed that Viterbo derives from the Latin Vetus Urbs, meaning “Old City”) and it boasts the largest medieval historic centre in Europe, with some perfectly preserved neighbourhoods. This historic centre is encircled by walls and surrounded by modern districts, while to the southwest lie valuable agricultural, archaeological, and thermal areas.
The city and its inhabitants are the protagonists of countless legends that fade into the mists of time.PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Seven mysterious kids with suitcases step out of the vehicle and into an abandoned home on a dead-end street, looking over their shoulders to make sure they aren't noticed.But Ravani Foster covertly witnesses their arrival from his bedroom window. Timid and lonely, Ravani is eager to learn everything he can about his new neighbors: What secrets are they hiding? And most mysterious of all...where are the adults?Yet amid this shadowy group of children, Ravani finds an unexpected friend in the warm and gutsy Virginia. But with this friendship comes secrets revealed—and danger. When Ravani learns of a threat to his new friends, he must fight to keep them safe, or lose the only person who has ever understood him.Full of wonder, friendship, and mystery, The Midnight Children explores the meaning of "home," what makes a family, and what it takes to find the courage to believe in yourself.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company Books for Young Readers
