Rejected by the King and Queen of Venice, a lonely flower-plant boy does not stay where he is unwanted. Somewhere along the Grand Canal, a flower-plant girl is being held by witches, and his search carries the story into a strange, watery city of palaces, danger, and enchantment. Beni Montresor’s picture book feels like a dark little fairy tale staged among bridges and boats, with a hero whose courage grows out of loneliness. The mood is magical and slightly mysterious rather than silly-scary, making it a good fit for readers who like witches, royal courts, unusual quests, and picture books with a storybook edge. Every page invites close looking as the adventure winds through Venice’s dreamlike world.
