Elvira Woodruff

    Elvira Woodruff is een auteur wiens rijke verbeeldingskracht duidelijk naar voren komt in haar werk. Ze gelooft dat schrijvers de wereld om hen heen moeten voelen, bekijken en beluisteren, zodat hun verhalen een viering van deze observaties kunnen worden. Volgens haar is het cruciaal voor een schrijver om verliefd te worden op de details van het leven: op kleuren, bloemen en kinderlachjes. Deze liefde doordrenkt haar woorden met een magische kracht die ze in betovering omzet. Haar schrijven is diep verbonden met het observeren en ervaren van de wereld.

      Andy Manetti, dieci anni, è convinto che in vita sua non riuscirà mai a fare qualcosa di straordinario: non è che un normale, banalissimo ragazzino che a scuola ottiene risultati decisamente mediocri, a differenze del fratellastro Jason, Mister Dotato, sempre pronto a sbandierare i suoi successi. E poi, durante una visita al mueseo, la sua vita subisce un radicale cambiamento. Stranamente affascinato dalla mummia di un'antica sacerdotessa egiziana vissuta più di duemila anni prima, Andy scopre di essere sotto il benefico influsso di un incantesimo che all'improvviso lo rende capace di fare tutto ciò che ha sempre sognato.
