Ted, Janna, and Lia were supposed to be spending the summer on Capri.
They weren't supposed to find a mystery.
On an island filled with hidden paths, ancient stories, mysterious caves, and legends that have been passed down for generations, the three siblings soon discover that Capri holds more than beautiful views and crowded piazzas. A strange clue pulls them away from the ordinary summer they expected and into a search that leads them deeper into the island's history, traditions, and secrets.
As they explore Capri, the children begin to realize that the stories people tell aren't always just stories. Some are history. Some are legend. And sometimes, figuring out the difference is the biggest mystery of all.
Along the way, Ted, Janna, and Lia encounter new friends, unforgettable food, Italian language and culture, and the places that make Capri unlike anywhere else in the world.
The Summer We Didn't Want is the first book in The LVD Three Adventures, a middle-grade mystery and travel adventure series that blends fictional storytelling with real places, local culture, history, legends, and Italian life.
Written in English with Italian woven throughout the story, the series is designed for readers ages 9–13 as well as intermediate Italian language learners of all ages who want to build confidence through an engaging story rather than a traditional textbook.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Ted, Janna, and Lia were supposed to be spending the summer on Capri. They expected sunshine, family time, crowded piazzas, long afternoons by the sea, and plenty of food.They weren't supposed to find a mystery.But Capri has a way of hiding things in plain sight.Beyond the postcard views and sparkling blue water lies an island shaped by old paths, ancient ruins, hidden stairways, mysterious caves, family stories, local legends, and secrets that have been repeated for generations. When a strange clue interrupts the ordinary summer the three siblings had imagined, Ted, Janna, and Lia are pulled into a search that leads them farther across the island and deeper into Capri's past.Each discovery brings another question. Which stories are true? Which have changed over time? Which belong to history, and which have become legend? The children soon realize that the difference isn't always easy to see, especially on an island where real events and local myths have been woven together for centuries.Their investigation takes them through winding streets, quiet corners, familiar gathering places, and landscapes unlike anywhere else in the world. Along the way, they meet new friends, encounter people who know more than they first reveal, taste the foods that make southern Italy unforgettable, and begin to understand the traditions and everyday rhythms of island life.For Ted, every clue is a reason to explore. Janna watches for the details everyone else misses. Lia has a gift for connecting with people and noticing the feelings hidden beneath their words. Together, their different strengths turn an unexpected summer into an adventure none of them could have planned.And the mystery isn't the only thing changing.As the siblings follow the trail, Italian becomes part of the adventure itself.
