Il ragazzo senza nome. Nemo vol.1
The setting is an upper-class boarding school near Paris in 1829. One of the students is a quiet, solitary boy whose real name is a mystery. So, everyone calls him Nemo. Despite all the mystery, though, Nemo makes two close friends: Ashlynn, blonde curls and eyes that hunger for adventure, and Daniel, an ex–circus acrobat with a generous soul. The three end up having to escape from the ruthless Mr. Zeta and his henchmen, who’ll do anything to take over the kingdom ruled by Nemo’s father, the maharaja…
