\u201cLiving without adventures is dangerous… you can die of boredom,\u201d announces twelve-year-old Emma. Thanks to her parents\u2019 lifestyle, she constantly travels and lives in different countries around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

The mysterious events begin when Emma\u2019s family settles down for a year on the island of Tenerife. The curious girl soon notices an intriguing infinity sign and a puzzling inscription on a fence near her home, scribbled in Spanish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the cryptic clues, Emma finds herself spiralling into a peculiar mission to \u2018rescue the dogs\u2019. Jake, her classmate, and Mars, her French bulldog, become her indispensable companions in this dangerous quest.<\/span><\/p>\n

In search of answers, Emma must visit the seven Canary Islands, climb the highest volcano in Spain, fly with giant swans, cross massive barrancos<\/em> (Spanish for crevasses), learn to \u2018drive\u2019 a camel, talk to the dead, be in two places at once\u2026 and that\u2019s not all! Most importantly, Emma must crack codes and solve riddles<\/strong>, or else the rescue mission will fail, and the mystery of the Canary Islands will remain hidden forever.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does Emma have what it takes to join up the dots? And is it really the dogs that she is actually saving?<\/span><\/p>\n

The last day of February started off wonderfully for the 4B class students. A writer, Viktorija Butautis, visited them all the way from the far-away land of Australia. The guest presented her fantastic adventure novel, The Mysteries of the Canary Islands. It was a very engaging, hands-on experience. The writer managed to spark the students\u2019 curiosity; the kids learned to decipher clues and eagerly competed to unlock the chests that contained a real treasure. After Viktorija\u2019s visit, the children expressed a strong desire to dive into adventures with the main characters and read The Mysteries of the Canary Islands as soon as possible.\n
\nThank you, Viktorija Butautis, for the wonderful time spent together!

The Mystery of the Canary Islands A fantasy adventure novel for the curious (with puzzles!) The Book of the Year 2023 \u00a0(middle grade) Knyga + Kinas 2023 Top Cinematographic Books Rights sold: Malaysia (Mandarin language), North Macedonia, USA, Poland Read Purchase Illustrator: Motiejus VauraPublisher: FLARE KIDS, 2026324 p., paperback, 140×215 mmISBN 978-1-963-51161-1Audience: curious 8+ \u201cLiving without adventures is dangerous… you can die of boredom,\u201d announces twelve-year-old Emma. Thanks to her parents\u2019 lifestyle, she constantly travels and lives in different countries around the world. The mysterious events begin when Emma\u2019s family settles down for a year on the island of Tenerife. The curious girl soon notices an intriguing infinity sign and a puzzling inscription on a fence near her home, scribbled in Spanish. Following the cryptic clues, Emma finds herself spiralling into a peculiar mission to \u2018rescue the dogs\u2019. Jake, her classmate, and Mars, her French bulldog, become her indispensable companions in this dangerous quest. In search of answers, Emma must visit the seven Canary Islands, climb the highest volcano in Spain, fly with giant swans, cross massive barrancos (Spanish for crevasses), learn to \u2018drive\u2019 a camel, talk to the dead, be in two places at once\u2026 and that\u2019s not all! Most importantly, Emma must crack codes and solve riddles, or else the rescue mission will fail, and the mystery of the Canary Islands will remain hidden forever. Does Emma have what it takes to join up the dots? And is it really the dogs that she is actually saving? The formula of this story: CURIOSITY + COURAGE = ADVENTURES TESTIMONIALS The last day of February started off wonderfully for the 4B class students. A writer, Viktorija Butautis, visited them all the way from the far-away land of Australia. The guest presented her fantastic adventure novel, The Mysteries of the Canary Islands. It was a very engaging, hands-on experience. The writer managed to spark the students\u2019 curiosity; the kids learned to decipher clues and eagerly competed to unlock the chests that contained a real treasure. After Viktorija\u2019s visit, the children expressed a strong desire to dive into adventures with the main characters and read The Mysteries of the Canary Islands as soon as possible. Thank you, Viktorija Butautis, for the wonderful time spent together! We look forward to the sequel of the novel Teacher Erika Beriozkinien\u0117 Klaip\u0117da Versm\u0117 pro-gymnasium Hello. I am Mykolas, and I read your book. It’s simply a fantastic book! There are so many adventures in the book, and I really enjoyed the part where you had to decipher everything! It’s the best book I have ever read. Mykolas M. Reader “A fantasy adventure novel for teenagers that is very enjoyable to read because it is very engaging.” More in the video review.
