Ulysses Moore. The first key
Adventure
Mystery
A faded photograph. A forgotten summer. One step closer to the heart of the mystery: who is Ulysses Moore, really?
Lost in a labyrinthine medieval town, Jason, Julia, and Rick are closer than ever to uncovering the secret of the First Key. But other questions remain unanswered. Where has Black Vulcano disappeared to? How many Doors of Time are there? And above all: who is Ulysses Moore? The answer may lie in an old photo showing the kids of Kilmore Cove — all together during the legendary summer of 1958.
