Summary

A compelling and heartwarming story about a girl's determination to find out what happened to her dad and the uncertainty she faces in the days following his disappearance. From the acclaimed author of Little Bits of Sky.

"With a realistic background of financial insecurity and latchkey kids, this is a gripping mystery and a story of emotional resilience." - Daily Mail

Luna's dad left in the middle of the night but nobody else seems worried. As the days go by, Luna tries to make sense of her dad's behaviour in the weeks before he left and, together with her sister Jade, starts looking for clues. They uncover some uncomfortable truths, and worried for their dad's safety, the two sisters set out to find him.


While Jade is outgoing and optimistic, Luna finds comfort in numbers, her dreams of being an astronaut and a passion for space science that she shares with her father.


A powerful look at family life, changing friendships and resilience in the face of fear and uncertainty.

    It's good once in a while to stop thinking like the world of grown-ups, and start listening to wildlife.

After each storm, the sun returns to warm our hearts by offering us a beautiful rainbow.

Every animal, every plant in this world is as valuable as we humans.

And we contribute every day, whatever species we belong to, to make the world brighter.

It is in the association of the peoples and species of this world that the planet has designed us and wishes to see us evolve.

Diversity is wealth.

All the colour of the rainbow are needed to make our Earth vibrate.

When a dragonfly decides to start talking, a certain unloved plant in the world of grown-ups begins to become the great protector of the world, even of the human.

May this story bring as many smiles to your soul as I had writing it.

    Verdeazul is a magical island where there are all kinds of creatures. Evil and good creatures that dwell only there, but only if you believe in magic can you see it or visit it. Rossana, Rosy as everyone calls her, must go again to help her friends save Verdeazul from Brujula, the witch who wants to take over the island and also reach the human world. Something that should be avoided at all costs. So, a peculiar group of friends and others who join them along the way, embark on an adventure full of magic and fantasy, one where they must overcome dangers, fight armies of evil creatures, and beat Brujula. And, importantly, to achieve this they must use their intelligence, which is more powerful than strength, and always remain united. 
IMPLICIT VALUES
The story highlights the importance of imagination and belief in magic, unity and friendship, and intelligence over strength. Courage and bravery are essential for facing adversities, while protecting one's home and environment is a fundamental commitment. Furthermore, diversity and collaboration among different beings and talents are key to success.
