Fiona's Roman Adventure

Nine-year-old Fiona has the adventure of a lifetime while visiting Rome with her grandparents. It starts with the disappearance of her most prized possession, which mysteriously vanishes as she enjoys the sights and sounds in the Piazza Navona. Following a possible clue and her instincts, Fiona runs through the labyrinth of Rome's ancient streets in hot pursuit until she fears all is lost ...but then the magic of timeless Rome reaches out. Help appears in the form of a few off-beat and very unusual fur and feathered vagabond Romans. Streetwise and noble, they aid Fiona in her quest. Thus begins a detective tale that carries readers thru some of the Eternal City's most intriguing old sites. Fiona encounters a nasty villain, meets a Queen, negotiates with a powerful Don, overcomes her shortcomings, learns to trust her instincts and discovers dimensions of Rome never mentioned in any travel guide.
