Leonardo Incardona signs the fourth volume of the adventures of Cloé and Serena, two young orphans from a neighboring island taken in at Grand-Case by their uncle and aunt.
In this volume, the twins encounter a dangerous Harlequin who has come to settle a score with their grandmother during Mardi Gras. Aided by their friend Enzo and the island's animals, with whom the girls can speak, the twins will try to thwart his plans…
This 52-page illustrated book is aimed at children aged 9 to 11. As in previous volumes, the author wants to introduce Saint-Martin “through the eyes of a child.” Fauna, flora, iconic landmarks, and well-known residents of the Grand-Case neighborhood become the backdrop for an adventure blending humor, magic, and mystery.
The series was born from a chance encounter. Cloé and Serena are inspired by two granddaughters Leonardo Incardona knew when they were nine years old. What does the author love most? Seeing children reading his books. President and founder of the Orléans Boxing Club, Coach Leonardo dedicates a large part of his daily life to boxing, but writing remains another of his great passions.
After writing for adults, two years ago he chose to turn to young people, wanting to introduce the island to young visitors, but also to remind the children of Saint-Martin that they live on “a great island and they don’t have to look for happiness elsewhere”. “Le Carnaval du Fou” is available in French and English at Busco in Grand-Case, 5th Avenue in Hope Estate and at the Tourist Office shop at Grand-Case Airport._DR
