14 year old Michelle helps his parents keep an inn in the village of Capri. One day a ship with red sails comes by, and three men come to stay at the Pagano's inn. The men said they were searching - one for beauty, one for adventure, and one for "something difficult to explain." What they found would change Michelle's life - and all of Capri - forever. This Italian book is quirky and it reads fast with a lot of back and forth dialogue. I rated it LOW for language and spiritual references due to good natured insults in Italian (stupido and such) and the Pagano's asking the "good saints to help us." I love how Michelle respects and loves his parents and his friends Pietro and Angelo, and how the characters genuinely seek to help each other. 8+

Grace and her cousin Savannah set out on a Journey to save their town. Great story arc and character development with an engaging story. I rated it LOW for violence and spiritual references due to a suspenseful encounter with a bad guy, and of course, there is a helpful fairy. I'd recommend it for 7+.

The lyrics in this book can be sung to the tune of the "Brahms Lullaby." The author came up with the lyrics when putting his daughters to sleep. when they were infants, and has become a wonderful memory now they are older.
