4-6Enchanted Emporium series.
Translated by Maria Allen.
Illustrated by
Iacopo Bruno.
In a Scottish village, thirteen-year-old Finn meets the Lily family, who runs a centuries-old shop that specializes in magical objects. Soon Finn finds himself in the midst of an ancient rivalry. The story starts slowly but builds to Finn's climactic face-off with a giant. Illustrated pages from the (fictional) Big Book of Magical Objects are interspersed in this Italian import.
