About the Author:
P. D. BACCALARIO was born in Acqui Terme, a beautiful little town in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. He grew up in the middle of the woods with his three dogs and his black bicycle. He loves seeing new places and discovering new lifestyles, although, in the end, he always returns to the comfort of familiar ones.
From AudioFile:
This second book in the Century Quartet reunites four children from four cities--Harvey from New York City, Mistral from Paris, Sheng from Shanghai, and Elettra from Rome--in New York on their quest to find the Star of Stone. Carrington MacDuffie gives the four children distinctive, youthful voices with subtle accents that reflect their native lands. Her timing is perfect for conveying tension and a sense of danger and for building suspense as the children decipher four postcards written in numeric code, which give them instructions as they move through the city while being pursued by a host of villains. Overall, MacDuffie's performance is just right for this fast-paced mystery. C.R.A. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
