FOR AGES 10 AND UP 132 pages | 21x28cm | Paperback When the statues went away by Angeliki Darlasi illustrated by Dimitra Nikolaidi Once upon a time, there was a girl who had heard the statues singing, danced with them, and seen them cry. Because statues come to life at night. Angelina knew this well, having practically grown up in the museum. Besides, having one and a half “cursed” hands made her even more like them. With the exception of Tico, her only flesh-and-blood friend, the statues were her best friends. When Mussolini declared war on Greece, the fear that the darkness of Nazism would prevail became even stronger. And everyone connected with the museum shared a common anxiety—they all protected the same secret. A deeply human and anti-war story about friendship, coming of age, the search for identity, and the need to preserve cultural heritage, based on the true story of the concealment of the antiquities of the National Archaeological Museum pendant the Greco-Italian War. 46 GRAPHIC NOVELS NEWTITLE CLICK HERE to see the book
