Runaway Rosa: A Twins Story

133 pp. | Viking | August, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-0-425-29151-1 $13.99
(3) 4-6 Witches of Benevento series. Illustrated by Sophie Blackall. Ten-year-old Rosa resists being restricted to nineteenth-century domestic duties and secretly trains to compete with the boys in Benevento's annual wild boar hunt. Conversely, her twin brother Emilio refuses to participate in this display of bravery and secretly learns to read. This new volume, tidily illustrated by Blackall, continues the gentle adventures and community spirit of an ancient Italian village shaped in equal parts by magic and tradition. Historical notes are appended.
