Fourteen-year-old Summer is spending July and August at Lake Como,
Italy with her mother. Summer doesn’t know it yet, but her parents are about to
drop a bad-news-bomb that will change her life. All she wants to do
is scuba dive in Lake Como with her cousin Francesca. But Family and scuba
diving take on a whole new importance when the cousins witness a crime and are
the only ones who can prove a boy’s innocence.
The Lake Como Girls: The Case of the Missing
Gladiator
Book 2 in the mystery series
Summer and Francesca shed their scuba gear and don ancient robes.
This time they’re working as translators at the Coliseum in Rome. The girls
soon learn that translating is not all about pointing to the bathrooms or
checking ticket lines. The job gets a little rough when a drunk and disorderly
tourist leaves them with bruised arms. Fortunately, a handsome gladiator comes
to their rescue. But when that gladiator doesn’t show up for work one morning,
the girls find themselves in far more danger that leaves them racing through
the streets of Rome pursued by loan sharks. Who says you need to scuba dive to
meet a shark!
The Lake Como Girls: Trapped in the Duomo
Book 3 in the mystery series
Summer and Francesca step off the train into the city of Florence.
Francesca’s father Matteo is accompanying them, along with Summer’s mother
Angelica. Much to the chagrin of Francesca, the girls have been mandated to
stop rescuing people and instead to shop for clothes and tour galleries and
cathedrals like good teenagers. And to make sure everyone stays out of trouble,
their friends Arabella and Stefano have been summoned from Lake Como. But like
Summer says, trouble splatters right in front of them. So much for
looking good in new clothes! Having left the underground labyrinthian
of Roman Coliseum behind them, Summer and Francesca reach for the sky this
time. They, along with their friend Arabella, climb the dark twisting stairs of
the Duomo Cathedral in the heart of Florence. But the Duomo hides a
secret, something that will force the girls to face a world pierced by poverty
and to learn what it means to be courageous when you have no one to save you.
