Sinossi
Stuart Horten si trasferisce nella deprimente Beeton per seguire i suoi genitori. La casa nuova è anonima e noiosa, e per giunta è l’inizio delle vacanze estive, il momento peggiore per farsi nuovi amici, operazione quasi impossibile prima che ricominci l’anno scolastico. Ma Beeton nasconde molte più sorprese di quanto sembri: un tempo ospitava la Meccanismi Miracolosi Horten, che produceva macchinette a moneta e serrature e apparteneva al prozio di Stuart, grande prestigiatore svanito misteriosamente (ma non troppo). Otto monete che dovranno attivare altrettanti marchingegni sono gli indizi che condurranno Stuart attraverso la più grande Caccia al Tesoro di tutti i tempi. Solo che non sarà per niente facile sfuggire alle grinfie dei suoi malvagi e accaniti inseguitori, e soprattutto agli occhi vigili e impiccioni delle orrende gemelle April, May e June Kingley, testardamente impegnate a rovinargli la vita… Un’avventura rocambolesca e divertentissima, che, insieme a Stuart, condurrà anche noi alla scoperta di un grande tesoro: questo libro!

A very fun and enjoyable story.
I picked this book up purely because of the cover (which is so dang gorgeous) and it was SO charming and fun! We follow a little boy named Stuart Horten who is very short (get it... S. Horten?) and is spending the summer in a new town. The new town just happens to be his father's hometown and upon a Leggi tutto
This is the Great! Unexpected!

This is a fun book which contains pretty much what it says on the tin - magic, mystery and a very strange adventure. Stuart moves with his family to his father's childhood town of Beeton, much against his will. When there, he finds out some things about his family - including the fact that his great- Leggi tutto
As a school teacher I see soooo many possibilities to integrate with this book! While reading we could dive into a study on family history, locate primary documents, write memoirs from the point of view of a relative or fictional memoirs. So many ideas running through my head as I read! I also loved Leggi tutto
I enjoyed this story about a boy named Horten who moves back to his ancestors' hometown and discovers a mystery waiting for him. His great uncle had been a magician, and his workshop was never discovered... but Horten has found a few clues that might lead him to it. I was strongly reminded of the Ma Leggi tutto
