Grosso guaio a Cinecittà World

by Castagna Manlio, Castagna Manlio

THE ADVENTURE OF ALL ADVENTURES

The last pages of a book about the most mysterious and accursed film director of all time, are missing. Thirteen-year-old Guido Anselmi only has the few hours before sunrise to solve the puzzle, but it’s Walpurgis night and anything is possible at Cinecittà World… as in a dream, the park comes to life: menacing gangsters, submarines and a beautiful girl who offers to help him but seems to attract trouble at every turn. An unforgettable, adrenaline-fuelled adventure set in the Cinecittà World cinema theme park.

* Frequent references to the situations of masterpieces like A Night at the Museum, Jumanji, The Purple Rose of Cairo and the dreamlike cinema of Federico Fellini, to whom the novel is dedicated.
