Lidia Poët and the Secret of the Bones

A dark mystery shakes a boarding school of respectable young ladies. Only the rebellious Lidia Poët can solve the case. An ordinary girl, who sometimes does extraordinary things.

Lidia Poët was the first female lawyer (and rebellious teen) in Italian history. In 1871, when girls could only crochet and make rice pudding, she already had the stubbornness required to follow her dreams and defend those who had no rights. This is why sixteen-year-old Lidia is the perfect travel companion for young readers looking for their place in the world. A fascinating and atypical heroine who, as she herself claimed, is just “an ordinary girl, who sometimes does extraordinary things”. In this all-female mystery, the real Lidia will be put to the test by the dark mystery of the boarding school where she was sent to learn good manners. The aspiring lawyer will need all her smooth talking and courage to solve the case, defeating prejudices and remaining true to herself.
