Review
'City of Masks is a poignant, touching and exciting novel ... without doubt a masterwork of contemporary children's literature' Edgardo Zaghini, Booktrust City of Stars: 'A fabulous story of power, intrigue and flying horses. This is story-telling at its best' Bookseller Of City of Flowers: 'I was barely allowed to finish it before my god-daughter snatched it away with breathless anticipation. "It's so real!" she drooled' Independent 'An absolute triumph. Writing like this makes a parallel situation appear in the mind as more real than reality itself' School Librarian

Format:Hardcover
CITY OF SECRETS is the fourth installment in Mary Hoffman's STRAVAGANZA series.
Matt is a normal English seventeen-year-old, until a book he got for his birthday takes him on the journey of his life -- to another world. Talia is similar to Italy, but is a few hundred years in the past from the 21st century.
On his journey, Matt meets Luciano, an old Stravagante who now permanently lives in Talia after having died in London. With Luciano, his foster father Docter Dethridge, a few other Stravagante, and many friends, Matt embarks on a journey of a lifetime. He finds himself being kidnapped, freeing convicts, and trying to pass his driver's exam!
Ms. Hoffman writes an enchanting tale that takes the reader to another world. The fast-paced novel is truly enticing and recommended to all ages. While the non-English reader might be confused by some of the references, there aren't too many that will defer the reader from the main task -- trying to find out what happens next.
This is an excellent addition to the series, with the ending leaving room for even more books.

I've loved all the Stravaganza series. Great story, well written and unique. Shame they had to change the covers though.

The cover totally ruined my collection and it wasn't really an upgrade. I thought that the artwork was much better in the previous books alas, what can you do.
Anyhow, other than the cover it's great to see Stravaganza recieving more support as a series and this book was a welcome return. It was interesting and had all of the previous main characters as well as a new character, who this book was centered on.
If you have read the previous books in the series this one is more of the same. Recommended.

Excellent addition to the series
[POSSIBLE SPOILER]
This book follows on nicely from the rest of the series. It still has the characters from all of the previous books, which is good as it brings a feel... Read more
