I fantasmi di Clara
Clara Rot di Bellamì ha undici anni, un cane senza tre denti, un padre che è il Re delle Punizioni, una sorellina, una finta mamma, una mamma vera − morta anni prima − e una nonna che vive in una casa vecchissima, Villa Decrepita. Una vita piuttosto normale, se non fosse che Clara parla con i fantasmi. La prima volta che è successo aveva sette anni e non sapeva che il signor Martino fosse morto, ma quando lo ha visto appollaiato sul ramo più alto di una quercia le è venuto qualche sospetto. È così che ha scoperto di essere un Tramite, capace di aiutare gli Andati a passare oltre, a chiudere ciò che in vita hanno lasciato in sospeso. E tutto fila liscio, finché non arriva Mira: nonostante sia senza dubbio morta, la ragazza non cerca il suo aiuto e non sembra volerla lasciare in pace. Un bel problema, visto che Clara ama la solitudine... Ma quando le Ombre cominciano ad allungarsi sul paese di Bellamì, un aiuto potrebbe essere proprio ciò di cui ha più bisogno.

Fino a quando nella sua vita si apre un varco, uno spiraglio fortuito nel quale si intrufolano due persone speciali: Beo, un bimbo di cinque anni che vive solo con il papà, e Gilda, un'anziana s...
