Book Rebels. La spiaggia dei lettori clandestini

Peter’s parents are in a strangely good mood, because they’ve just decided to go to Plainton for their next holiday: it’s not too far away but not too close, either; enjoyable but not unforgettable; and with a beach, but not a particularly beautiful one.So why go there then? Peter can’t understand it, and what’s more, he’s bored there. Really bored. And so are his new friends: the silly identical twins Edward and Edwin, and brave, green-eyed Madeleine. Until the day they discover something weird about Plainton: children areabsolutely banned from reading books.At first it doesn’t seem like a big deal, but the four are soon involved in top secret missions, hangouts in secret forts, escapes, chases, stealing books (in fragments!), and even prophecies. Because reading, of course, is one of the most exciting activities of all.

• A novel, child’s play, created from the imagination of two great friends in work and in life, united by their love of books – because reading is the key to freedom and happiness.

• “Reading a good book or rather, a book we enjoy, makes us happy. And children have the same right as anyone else of any age to be happy, here and now.” – Luigi Spagnol
