Summary
Once upon a time there were three sisters: Franca, Carmela, and Tomasina. This is their story of adventure and discovery. A tale of hidden mysteries and new wonders, of finding a strange world beyond home and unlocking the secrets inside themselves. And what of this queen? Who is she? Well, let's see... -- Back of jacket.
One night Franca dreams of a marvelous queen who lives deep in the forest in the darkest cave. So off she goes with her two younger sisters, Carmela and Tomasina, beyond their garden fence, down the hill behind their house, and into the forest. As they travel deeper through nettles and thickets, drawing closer and closer to the cave, the world shifts...and their journey takes them through worlds of infinite wonder, where they have tea with Grandmother Spider and attend the funeral of Big Mama Rat. Along the way they learn how to be brave, to be bold, to face their darkest fears. And what of the queen? Well, what they find in the cave is perhaps the most unexpected thing of all... Author-illustrator Júlia Sardà spins an enthralling and evocative tale of adventure, growing up, and finding oneself anew. -- Jacket inside flap.
