passengers think Maya and Filippo are crazy until all of them see some things
they had never expected.
My Review
By Lynda Dickson
Maya and Filippo are a sister and brother pair who travel around the
world with their parents and their cat Otello on the Fun Princess cruise ship. Today they visit Christchurch, New
Zealand, also known as the Garden City. While they are waiting to get off the
ship, the children at the youth club draw pictures of what they would like to
see some day. Everyone thinks that the things Maya and Filippo draw are
impossible, but they all have a surprise in store for them when the set off to view the
sights of the Garden City!
This is a sweet tale about dreaming big. As Maya and Filippo's mother
tells them, "There is nothing in this world that is impossible for you to
experience. Every kind of thing is possible if you believe it strongly
enough." The story is followed by facts about Christchurch and a quick
quiz to make sure the kids understood the story.
