Pierdomenico Baccalario

Ulysses Moore. The Store of the Lost Maps – vol. 2

Adventure
Mystery

“There’s only one thing that matters to you…” growled the old man. “And that’s time! You have time! So don’t waste it chasing after something that doesn’t exist!”

Ancient Egypt, Land of Punt. Jason, Julia, and Rick have passed through the Door of Time and emerged inside the House of Life—a vast, maze-like library filled with scrolls, manuscripts, and tablets from every corner of the world.
This time, they’re searching for a mysterious map hidden in the legendary Room That Isn’t There. But only the devious owner of the Shop of Forgotten Maps holds a clue that might set them on the right path.
