If we go to Venice when kiddo is in the right age range, I think this will be a fun, fun book to read. She can then use it as a map to find the bridges, alleys, etc. mentioned. This was a lovely little book--the writing was strong and there was a heavy dose of sweet whimsy. The plot struggled a little, wandering between a realistic world and a magical world, but that's likely to bug adults more than the intended audience. Adventure without violence, mystery without fright, a bit of romance without sex. Good for those who like adventure, pirates (not that there are any in the book, but it's an attitude), mystery, and fabulous settings.
