  This is the first book of the Stravaganza series (I think there are 5 books so far). Although they're not too well-known, nothing like Harry Potter or the vampire sagas, I find Stravaganza City of Masks should definitely be as popular. It's well-written, fun and a really exciting read.

  The book's set both in contemporary England and in an equivalent of medieval Venice. It's all about time-and-space-travel, loads of adventures, ancient traditions and the life of a sick teenager in modern Britain who discovers he can actually get better... somewhere (and somewhen) else.
  This book's ideal if you're travelling to Venice and want your children to "start getting ready" for the holidays.

  The Stravaganza trilogy is clearly meant for younger readers. The characters, the plot, and basically everything has been made quite simple and easy to understand. The books could almost be described as naïve, but I like them anyway. They were my favourites when I was about 13 and now they make me feel a bit nostalgic. Besides, even now the parallel world of Talia is interesting enough to keep me glued to the books!
