John Dodo and the Riddle of the Past – vol. 2

A Dodo Is Never Alone… Because It Has Lots of Friends!

The Dodo, as we know, is extinct. But not in Grandville, where there a deep sense of friendship and
mutual help and, just like the Dodo, there’s still room for other animals that no longer exist these days.

John Dodo lives with his dad and thirteen eccentric uncles and aunts in the enormous Villa Dodo, a house full of secrets and mysterious rooms. Together with his friends — Felix the lion and Zita the platypus — he dives into surreal, funny, exciting, and always unpredictable adventures.

In the second book (John Dodo and the Riddle of the Past), all of Grandville is in turmoil: strange objects from the past are popping up everywhere! The only one who might know something about it is Aunt Caterina Catta, the family scientist. Too bad she has disappeared without a trace! Will John and his friends solve the mystery and bring her back home?

• Fummy tories free from stereotypes, respectful of cultures, religions, gender and identity, even in the absence of rigid models of reference.
• When everything seems concluded, the ending of the story always reveals something UNEXPECTED (the stories don’t end with a return to normality – quite the opposite).
