The mountainous island of Capri has a mystery and it takes the innkeeper's son, Michele, and three foreigners to get to the bottom of it. A great read-aloud!

We love this book because it is a great story of a boy who is committed to helping his family and being loyal to his friends. We think it is funny, and my daughter sometimes quotes Angelo. We read it early this year because we all had happy memories of reading it before.

One of our all-time favorites. This is one that we remember when we are listing our favorite books to someone! We had the best drawings while reading this book! Love the pictures online too! The names were difficult to pronounce but I think we made up ways to say them. LOVED IT!

We couldn't even get interested enough to get through the first chapter. Not sure what the point of this book is, but we're leaving it out.

Lovely book one we were not as crazy about.

Not thrilled with this book. Very long chapters. We kept waiting for the book to get better, it never did. We finally just stopped reading it about 4/5 of the way through. It was so boring we did not even care to find out how it ended.

Kids enojyed hearing the story but I found it cumbersome to read, boring with overly long chapters.. made it VERY heavy going and kids fidgetted etc
If I were looking at the curriculum this is a book I would definitely omit in favour of something better written

This book was ok, it was very hard to get into. Halfway through we started getting a little more into it, and were excited to find out the ending, which wasn't very exciting.

My 8 yr old and I really enjoyed this book. I'm not sure he really understood all of the "lessons learned" or underlying meanings of human nature, but it didn't keep him from enjoying the book. Michele's mother's cooking provided us both with enjoyable humor.
