The Mourning Emporium

More Info...

Two summers ago, Venice was dying and an 11-year-old girl made her first (so she thought) visit to the city where she instantly felt she belonged. Teodora, it transpired, was the undrowned child, destined to save Venice from its long-standing enemy, Bajamonte Tiepolo, the traitor. According to a long ago prophecy, Teo and Renzo (the studious son) were the only people equipped to defeat the baddened magic that the traitor brought to the stricken city. But they couldn't kill him - and so, subdued, but bitter, he returned to his shadowy existence.

Now he's back. And in need of a new army, he sets his sights on London - which is weak with mourning the death of the Queen, Victoria.

AVOX GIRL

This is a fantastic sequel to the Underground child.

Queen Victoria is dying and much of her empire is in great need of help. Something very strange is happening not only in Venice but all around the world, and Venice is yet to be saved. Once more Teodora will have to fight to save not only Venice but also the rest of the world. Time is running out will Teo and Renzo be able to stop Bajamonte Tiepolo before things are taken too far?

I would recommend both of these books to any younger reader who loves adventures and mysteries.

COVER KISSER

In The Mourning Emporium, we were once again plunged into this magical world, where the "baddened magic" has spread across the globe like a pandemic, killing people in its wake. Teodora and Renzo, the two children of the prophecy must try to uncover the truth behind the tragedy. The sequel is a mesmerizing tale where the action, suspense, adventure and thrilling twist culminates into an ending that leaves me begging for a third book. Please?
