Who goes with them?
Here’s the idea with Oliver in it. Type a name and it becomes your child’s.
Oliver spends the holidays with Grandma Rose, and this time the place is a quiet little town by the sea. Every place has its secrets, and this one has a legend the locals only whisper about. Strange signs start to appear: in the landscape, in the old stones, in the stories told here on long evenings. Following them through real streets, shores and woods, Oliver gets closer and closer to the heart of the legend — and is the one who finally uncovers its secret.

What the story is about
Every place has a secret. On holiday with the grandparents, your child finds the signs nobody else noticed.
You name the place you stay, and the legend is made of it: its nature, its streets and stones, the stories told there.
Signs turn up on pine trees, stones and doors, and your child is the one who reads them. The grandparents are right there, offering hints, laughing and following.
