NEW YORK CITY, MARCH 15
Another mysterious artifact reunites Harvey from New York, Elettra
from Rome, Mistral from Paris, and Sheng from Shanghai. Soon they
discover a series of four postcards written in code years ago by
the murdered professor who sent them on their quest in Rome. The
cards send the kids all over New York City, through old libraries
and abandoned tunnels, in search of the Star of Stone, an ancient
object fundamentally connected to the earth. But a new set of
villains, predators of Manhattan nightlife, will do anything to
stop them . . .
Fans of Blue Balliet, Trenton Lee Stewart, and Michael Scott will
be drawn to this "Da Vinci Code"-like adventure for kids.

"Every hundred years, four kids from four cities must save the
world."
Rome, December 29.
A mix-up with their reservations forces Harvey from New York,
Mistral from Paris, and Sheng from Shanghai to share a room with
the hotel owner's daughter, Elettra. The four kids discover an
amazing coincidence--they all have birthdays on February 29, Leap
Day. That night, a strange man gives them a briefcase and asks them
to take care of it until he returns. Soon afterward, the man is
murdered.
The kids open the briefcase. In it they find a series of clues that
take them all over Rome, through dusty libraries and dark
catacombs, in search of the elusive Ring of Fire, an ancient object
so powerful that legend says even a Roman emperor couldn't control
it.
In the first book of the Century quartet, Italian author P. D.
Baccalario begins a mystery that will take four cities and four
extraordinary kids to solve.

PARIS, JUNE 20.
A meeting with an archaeologist friend of Harvey's dad brings
Mistral, Elettra, Harvey, and Sheng together again in Paris. The
friend gives them a clock that once belonged to Napoleon, and she
tells them that it will lead them to another object of power. The
clock sends the kids all over Paris, through old churches and
forgotten museum exhibits, in search of an artifact linked to the
Egyptian goddess Isis. But a woman with a penchant for venomous
snakes and carnivorous plants--and her vast network of spies--is
watching their every move. . . .
Fans of Blue Balliet, Trenton Lee Stewart, and Michael Scott will
be drawn to this "Da Vinci Code"-like adventure for kids.
