As the author tells us: “There are many arias. They are pieces of music. There is also the “aries”. It’s a bushy tree, suitable for lining avenues. But there’s only one Aria who is a girl. She lives on the island of Aphrodite and has a friend on the Internet called Jimmy. Aria has a lot of worries. There’s her extra weight. There’s school. There are her parents who get on her nerves. But more than that, there’s her strange name. Yet, what kind of surprises does her unique name have in store for her?” Suitable for children of elementary school age.
