Maggiori informazioni sul libro
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author, this captivating story follows three extraordinary animals and a young boy whose lives intersect in Paris. Paras, a spirited racehorse, escapes her stall and journeys to the City of Light, fascinated by its sights and sounds. There, she meets Frida, an elegant German shorthair pointer, who navigates the city while avoiding the attention of suspicious locals. Together, they explore lush green spaces, relying on Frida's clever trips to the bakery and butchershop, and are joined by two lively ducks and an opinionated raven. Paras's adventure takes a turn when she encounters a human boy named Etienne, leading her to a secluded ivy-walled house where he lives with his nearly one-hundred-year-old great grandmother. As Christmas approaches, an unlikely friendship blossoms among the animals and humans. However, the question remains: how long can a runaway horse remain unnoticed in Paris, and how long can Etienne keep her hidden? This enchanting novel celebrates curiosity, ingenuity, and the universal desire for friendship, love, and freedom.
