Description:

“I just saw an angel fall from the sky. Maybe the rain led them astray” said Ralou, but we ignored her as usual – Toto and I were busy counting raindrops. The following day, we found the angel in the cornfields. Four villages (East, West, North and South), one school in the middle of nowh] ere, cornfields, three trees and dry landscapes, a circus with a collapsing big top: all set the scene of our story. A teach who dreams a better future for children, a violent uncle in pursuit of a treasure, a policeman who secretly plays the violin, the circus manager whose life turned on its head all because of a banana peel, an acrobat, a librarian, and a blind poet who steals books: these are some of the grownups that will assist the three children in their efforts to save a fallen refugee of heaven.A tale of travel and magical realism with cinematic suspense that captivates its readers, in this otherworldly landscape that becomes breathtaking. Action and lyricism are woven beautifully to create a deeply humanitarian, anti-war story. It has been honored with the Best Book Award for older children from the Greek section of IBBY – The Circle of the Greek Children’s Book. Its theatrical adaptation was also honored with the State Prize.
