Product Description

Synopsis

This is a welcome reissue for this wonderful, witty, offbeat book by Adele Geras. Every member of the Fantora family is a little unusual and possesses a very special gift. Grandmother Filomena can predict the future. Her son, Eddie, can grow anything. Her daughter-in-law, Rosie, is a cook in a million who can also fly. Auntie Varvara is a vegetarian vampire in search of romance. The children, Bianca, Marco, and Francesca, also have strange powers which they use in a variety of ways, often with unexpected and hilarious results. All this is narrated in his own inimitable style by Ozymandias, the rather superior cat who lives with the family.

5.0 out of 5 stars fabulous fantora fan!, 13 Aug 2003
By adele (Palermo, Italy) - See all my reviews
This is a very enjoyable book. It's quite readable and easy for children, but at the same time introduce them to the structures of narration and point of view. The life of this funny family is told by their cat Ozzie who, as the Narrator, collects all the facts and files of the family. A bit of magic and lots of fun!
