The Little Monk of Monacello returns, once again beautifully illustrated with Jana Diemberger's stunning artwork

There are parts of the world where people think Bad Luck comes up from below, and Good Luck comes down from the sky. Not in Naples. In Naples bad luck and good came from just one place: Monacello.

In the second installment of the Monacello trilogy, the "Little Monk" who brings both good and bad luck is begrudgingly transformed into the Wish-Bringer. Encouraged by his mysterious friend Napolina, only when she isn't looking too closely does he return to mischief-making. There is one wish, however, that Monacello cannot grant—his own wish to know the rest of his story, the mystery of his parents, and why he came to be left outside the doors of a nunnery one cold morning. In this tale, Monacello faces up to his enemies and comes one step closer to discovering the truth about his past. When it comes to the Little Monk though, bad luck can never be far away, and soon Monacello is called upon to grant the hardest wish of all.

From School Library Journal:
Gr 3–5—In this second book in trilogy, Monacello is an ugly, pasty-faced orphan who lives in Naples, in the city's basement, with his friend Napolina and his cats. The mysterious Napolina works to keep Monacello from mischief, but the "Little Monk" is always causing chaos. He is blamed for bad fortunes (dropping a jug of milk, bread not rising) and wished upon for good deeds (an old lady wishing for a horse, a man wishing to be the duke), coining him the Wish-Bringer to the citizens of Naples. Monacello's wish granting never goes right and always has unintended consequences for the wishers. This book has a slightly disjointed story line with a disturbing ending, and illustrations that are dark and eerie. Additional purchase only.—Lisa Nabel, Dayton Metro Library, OH
