Elvira Woodruff

    Elvira Woodruff est une auteure dont la riche imagination est évidente dans son œuvre. Elle croit que les écrivains doivent sentir, regarder et écouter le monde qui les entoure, afin que leurs histoires puissent devenir une célébration de ces observations. Selon elle, il est essentiel pour un écrivain de tomber amoureux des détails de la vie : des couleurs, des fleurs et des sourires des enfants. Cet amour imprègne ses mots d'un pouvoir magique qui les transforme en enchantement. Son écriture est profondément connectée à l'observation et à l'expérience du monde.

      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.
