mystery for 8-12-year-olds and family reading

It's almost Christmas in the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains which means Luna and her cat Fortuna are busy with their tradition of displaying nativity scenes.

They think time is their only obstacle, but a brewing snowstorm and the alarming disappearance of nativity figures threaten their efforts to share the hopeful message of Jesus' birth.

While Luna's faith helps her trust that everything works according to God's good plan, Fortuna is outraged that someone is stealing Luna's precious figurines. Hoping their Christmas can still be perfect, Fortuna vows to stop the thief.

Will Luna and Fortuna solve il mistero di Natale, the Christmas mystery before their annual celebration on December 24th?

The Missing Nativity of Speranzamonte is the fourth book in the Luna and Fortuna series of books kids love and parents trust and takes place immediately after The Strong Bear of Venice concludes.
