A disconcerting, oppressive and dangerous calm surrounds Whisper, the old house. When Noa comes into it for the first time she feels shocked by fear and curiosity. However, apart from herself, nobody seems to notice the secret the old building hides, a secret that has been hidden for a long time…
Isabel Abedi masterly, irresistibly, introduces a thick and exciting psychological atmosphere. Her novel for young adults introduces a house full of mystery, an unresolved crime, human passions and a first, big love.
The book starts with Enya’s song Paint the Sky with Stars, which perfectly sets the plot. Its first chapter can be downloaded following the PDF link in this page.

Alberta stretches herself, taking off the last winter sleep, in the warm air of a radiant spring morning; meanwhile, her mother explains the coming of the spring to her, which brings, among many other things, Love. Alberta decides to go out in its search. But, where is Love?
“A loving and charming story that serves as a first approach to that complex, elusive feeling love is. Words and pictures work together to shape this “loving adventure”. A clear text, with dialogues that make the storyline move forward and naïve, maybe commonplace, descriptions about what you feel when you are in love. Skillful illustrations, focused on giving great expressivity to those voles that make us fall in love with them, but without neglecting natural, idyllic backgrounds, full of amusing details. A delight." (CLIJ, Children and Young Adults’ Literature Notebooks).
