Talina in the Tower
Michelle Lovric
Savage hyena-like creatures threaten Venice – the Ravageurs are on the prowl and seizing men, women and children. On the night of 30 June 1846 Talina’s parents disappear and she and her cat, Drusilla, are forced to go and live with her Guardian and his three savage dogs in his lonely tower in the northernmost edge of the city. Here she discovers that she has the ability to change herself into a cat, but changing herself back into a girl isn’t quite so easy. As a cat she learns about the Ravageurs and how over the centuries they have become semi magical creatures, visible only to children in the human world, and that they are intent on destroying Venice. She is determined to save the city – it’s time for desperate measures – and her adventures are about to begin.
Reviews
I really enjoyed this book. I think that the story line was very clear and concise but i did keep confusing Ambicocco and Ambrogio but that was my fault. My favourite character was Talina because she was a very girl-power girl and very strong character. She really was the sort of girl you would like to be friends with. The only thing i was confused about was why the story was set in Venice but lots of the characters were French? All of the wolf-hyenas where French, the teacher was French and many others. That is the only thing that rates it down. I would totally 100% recommend this book to anyone aged between 10 and 16 looking for a bit of horror/magic.
