A propos de cet article

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. Words, expressions, conversations, signs, food, and local traditions are woven naturally into the story, allowing readers to experience the language in context rather than through isolated vocabulary lists or exercises.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, Italian culture, regional food, history, legends, language, and everyday life.Written primarily in English with Italian woven throughout the story, the book is designed for readers ages 9 to 13, families who enjoy international adventures, and intermediate Italian language learners of all ages. Readers who already know some Italian can use the story to expand vocabulary, reinforce familiar grammar, improve reading confidence, and discover how the language is used naturally in context. Italian appears through dialogue, signs, food, traditions, and everyday moments, helping learners deepen their understanding without turning the adventure into a textbook. Three siblings expecting a quiet summer on Capri uncover clues that blur myth and reality. Their search leads through island legends, hidden places, Italian culture, and a language adventure they never expected. This item is printed on demand.
