The Lost Island

Who would have thought that Mount Conero, a splendid promontory overlooking the sea, evokes adventurous stories of pirates, hallucinatory visions, ghosts, underground labyrinths filled with hidden treasures, and lost cities? For Marco and Astrid, heirs to the world-famous Button Museum, an adventurous journey begins, accompanied by the dazed ghost of a sailor. Recommended reading age: 10+.
