Notes

A story for children who are home because their school closed down.
All Maltese and Gozitan schools have closed down because of a pandemic caused by a cruel virus that has infected all countries in the world.
Melanie and Karl, too, have ended up at home with their parents, not knowing what to do with their time, though Melanie really likes to read.
She recounts to her brother the story she is reading.... about a girl called Katie who buys an old book, which has no printing in it, but the book sings to her and takes her to a place away from our world. Then, suddenly, Katie and the old book visit Melanie. And the children face dangers and fantastic adventures.
The novel is an adventure story set during Covid-19 shut downs translated from Maltese.
