Red Sails to Capri

The book that I am currently reading is called Red Sails to Capri, written by Ann Weil. This book was awarded the Newberry Honor. The main character in this book is named Michele Pagano (Mee-shell) (Pa-gan-o). Michele is fourteen years old. He lives at home with his parents, Signor Pagano and Signora Pagano, on the mountain-island of Capri. His friends in the book include a man named Angelo (An-jel-o), who is forty, and his friend …

…the three strange men. Michele wanted to make sure that these visitors stayed at the inn and not go to another one. He knew that his parents needed the money and this would help them. As I said before, Michele is a helpful boy. He was concerned about helping his parents as well as the visitors at the inn. Michele is also a boy who gets easily excited when something out of the ordinary happens.
