Book description
This adventure takes place in the Italian Dukedom of Caprona, where spells are as slippery and as tricksy as spaghetti! Casa Montana and Casa Petrocchi look after the magical business in the Dukedom of Caprona, watched over by its magnificent guardian statue, the Angel. The families have been feuding for years, so when all the spells start going wrong, each naturally blames the other. Then young Tonino Montana and Angelica Petrocchi also disappear. Could the terrible rumours of a White Devil who threatens the Angel of Caprona be true after all?

Deutsch: Caprona ist in Gefahr. Ein böser Zauberer will die Stadt vernichten. Eigentlich müssten die beiden größten Zaubererfamilien, die seit Jahrhunderten miteinander verfeindet sind, ihre gemeinsame Zauberkraft darauf verwenden, die Stadt zu retten. Aber da werden Angelica Petrocchi und Tonino Montana entführt. Jede Familie glaubt nun von der anderen, sie habe ihr Kind, und sie verschwenden ihre Kräfte darauf, sich gegenseitig zu bekämpfen.
