My second children's novel, and a dear one to me. Main character is the always-moving Claudio. He will celebrate his tenth birtday, and at the strike of the clock he gets... two small, funny ghosts. As presents. One ghost tries to warn him for all kinds of things, the other one fires him up. But will they stay? And how will they help him when Claudio's family (his father who is a male model, his mother who was adopted and just discovered she has a sister in the US, his grandparents who are rich and distant, and their wonderful, warmhearted maid) seems to fall apart?
