About This Book

The air buzzes with the lively sounds of music, twisting and turning like magical spells in the streets of Caprona. Here, two families spin enchantments as tangled as spaghetti, but when their magic starts to unravel, suspicion and mystery fill the air. What strange magic will save their world before it's too late?

Quick Assessment

Set in the vibrant, magical dukedom of Caprona, this middle-grade fantasy follows two rival families whose spells begin to fail mysteriously. Themes of family rivalry, adventure, and the power of cooperation are explored in a richly imagined Italian-inspired setting. Suitable for ages 9-12, the story includes fantasy magic and mild conflict but no intense content.
