About this title

Synopsis

ABOUT THE BABEL CORNER SERIES
Every night, Sofia, Max, and little Lily step into their bedroom tent — a magical place that receives messages from children who need help around the world. When they whisper Wanderlustria, the tent sends them to a real country for a new mission filled with clues, culture, and adventure.

BOOK 1 — THE SECRET CODE OF THE MAGIC DOOR (ITALY)
Tonight, the tent carries the siblings to Italy, where their cousin Matteo asks for help solving the mystery of an ancient door. The clues lead them through Pompeii, Venice, Pisa, San Siro Stadium, and Rome. Along the way, they make pizza in Naples, fly in Leonardo da Vinci’s flying machine, and decode symbols inspired by real Italian legends — all before morning.

Younger readers enjoy the magical mission and rich illustrations. Older readers can explore deeper cultural clues, hidden details, and bonus pages that link the fiction to real Italian history. The story was shaped with input from Italian families, native speakers, and the author’s own Italian ties for accuracy and warmth.
