A story about a village, a gang of children, and a wild man.
Every summer, when the American women arrived, the gang plunged into new mischief, turning the village upside down. But no one expected that, one August, a twelve-year-old girl from Athens would challenge them — determined to uncover the mystery of a young woman who had vanished years earlier.
Summer holidays in the village with her grandmother unfold under a scorching sun that could crack stone. Childhood friendships are forged, freedom is celebrated, and daring young detectives bring long-buried secrets to light.
