La banda dei nove: Cosa possono avere in comune un viziato rampollo dell'aristocrazia finanziaria, un bugiardo incallito, una ladra, una piccola canaglia cresciuta in un istituto per trovatelle, un teppista, un saputello, una perfettina, uno screanzato e un vanitoso? Essere finiti nella Lista dei Cattivi di Babbo Natale. Età di lettura: da 7 anni.
What can a spoiled scion of the financial aristocracy, an inveterate liar, a thief, a little rogue who grew up in a founding institution, a thug, a sapcello, a perfectian, a screator, and a vain one have in common? Be on Santa's Bad List. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, December 25, 1931. An incredulous and indignant Peter Czaplynsky, 11, finds only a piece of coal in his stocking. Soon after, on a burnt sheet, he discovers the names and addresses of those who, like him, suffered the annual revenge of "that old elf". It's the beginning of an adventurous group trip to Santa's island in order to petition to abolish the barbaric custom of coal. Christmas is everyone's, not just the good ones! But with a former secret agent of the tsar at his heels and a rum smuggler who turned the toy factory into a clandestine distillery, will the heroic and ramshackle Gang of Nine stand up his reasons and save Christmas for all? Reading age: from 7 years.
