In a house on the edge of a mythical city, surrounded by a garden where the sirocco wind stirs the oleander flowers and citrus trees, lives Antonio, a boy waiting for his mother to return from her mission to protect nature. While he waits, a mysterious girl named Scintilla appears, with hair as red as fire and a face as full as the moon. Through their nightly encounters, Scintilla ignites sparks of happiness in Antonio's heart, showing him a glimpse of the future that no one else can see. This moving novel by Nadia Terranova, enriched by the unmistakable illustrations of Mariachiara Di Giorgio, is a magical story about waiting, family, and imagination. Recommended for readers aged 11 and up, the work explores personal and social themes with a touch of magical realism.
