Nulla è indicibile per l'antieroina senza nome di questo romanzo sardonico e divertente, che butta all'aria ogni garbo e tira dritta per la sua strada con la levità di un bulldozer. Catturata dalla vita avventurosa e dalle gesta del giovane Jim Hawkins narrate da Stevenson nell'Isola del tesoro, la Nostra, alla ricerca di una vita più audace e genuina, getta lo scompiglio intorno a sé coinvolgendo i suoi cari, l'amica del cuore, un pappagallo e chiunque abbia la sorte di trovarsi sul suo cammino. L'impeto accanito con cui cerca di perseguire i propri obiettivi potrebbe portare il lettore ad arrendersi a sentimenti poco benevoli nei suoi confronti; e invece, la profonda e sciroccata umanità che trapela dalle sue imprese bislacche fa vibrare corde di solidale e deliziata empatia.

Twelve-year-old Elodie journeys to Two Castles in the hope of studying acting but instead becomes an apprentice to the dragon Meenore, who teaches her to be observant and use reasoning, thus helping her discover who is poisoning Count Jonty Um. By the author of the Newbery Honor Book Ella Enchanted, and the New York Times best-sellers Ever and Fairest. Simultaneous.
