Il fantasma del conte

by Marconi, Sara
Il fantasma del conte

Nicolò Poveglia is ten years old, has a family obsessed with technology and a little sister who is
afraid of nothing. Accustomed to living among computers and monitors, he will be forced to spend two days with his sister and grandmother in a very old, spooky house, far from everything and without electricity. Amoung torrential rain, mysterious bell tolls, pitch darkness, floating doors and screaming ghosts, Nicolò will discover something unimaginable about both his travelling companions: perhaps not everyone in the Poveglia family is destined to work in technology…
