Set in Paris in 1888, Piaf sells roasted chestnuts on the street corner. She has an amazing memory, and can remember details from any year in her 12 year old life. But something is wrong with the people in Paris. They all seem to have lost their memories of the last year. When a sinkhole appears in front of Piaf’s stall, it begins a trail of adventures. We are led into the other Paris, the one that lies beneath the streets, where the tunnels and catacombs replace the avenues above. Piaf and her twin brother must find the lost children who have been taken by Dr Le Chandelier and clear the fog.
A great adventure with wonderful illustrations by Ewa Beniak-Haremska. The historical detail adds to the story.
