The echo of an ancient legend
II-III primary
As evening fell, silence descended on Valle Mannara: locked doors, dark streets, no one venturing out after dark. Only a young boy, sneaking out of a window to help his starving family, dared to brave the fog and the legend of the werehorse. Years later, in that same valley, the disappearance of the horse Arci brings to light a mystery never truly buried. Giuditta Campello (The Abominable Werehorse, Pelledoca) weaves legend and present into a gripping thriller, showing how an ancient fear passed down from generation to generation can suddenly come knocking again.
