A 12-year-old girl travels the globe with her parents' circus, having adventures and learning to appreciate the joys of being different.
My name is Violette Vermeer: Dutch father, French mother...citizen of the world! My house has a thousand rooms...one for every place we've passed through!
Her name is Violette, like the flower in the spring, like the seventh color of the rainbow. She lives with the Circus of the Moon, where her mother is the stuntwoman and her father is the insect tamer. At the end of the 19th-century, Violette is a curious, happy 12-year-old who is fascinated by the beauty of the world around her: music, painting, drawing, nature, and much more. She shares adventures with her friend Samir (a budding trapeze artist), her unusual animal friends, and her father's trained insects!
This, the first of three books, takes place in Paris, where Violette has to balance her time between the freedom of the circus and her homework at school. But Paris is the city of beauty and art, and soon she will make an encounter with a very special person!
Teresa Radice (scriptwriter, b 1975) and Stefano Turconi (artist, b 1974), collaborated for the first time in 2003 and their partnership, not only artistic, has continued ever since. They have worked on Topolino (Mickey Mouse), W.i.t.c.h., and X-Mickey for Disney, in addition to Wondercity, Fairies, and many other stories. They organize creative writing and drawing workshops at primary and secondary schools, where they love debating about the creative process with young readers. Turconi has also illustrated the Agatha: Girl of Mystery series for Penguin Random House.
