Author: Tiffany Parks

Publisher: HarperCollins

Release Date: January, 2018

Beatrice Archer used to live in Boston but her father got a promotion in an Academy in Rome. Beatrice tried to tell her father she didn’t want to move. When they moved to Rome she looked out the window and saw a beautiful fountain with beautiful turtles perched on it. She was immediately attached to it. Then her father came in and told her to get some rest. She climbed into bed and fell asleep. A few (or one) days later, it was Monday. She went to bed and awoke with a clang. She raced to the window and saw a man using a crow bar to steal the beautiful turtles. She scurried to her father and dragged him out of bed. When she came back, the turtles were perched atop the fountain. They seemed untouched. Later Beatrice figured out that the turtles were fake. She found the thief and the real turtles with the help of her friend Marco. I hope you want to read “Midnight at the Piazza!”
