Finn, your Starvard guide

Ciao, mi chiamo Finn e ti aiuterò a capire questo libro.

Eccolo, spiegato come se avessi 10 anni:

Cornelius ama i tulipani, ed è vicino a coltivarne uno che nessuno ha mai coltivato: un tulipano davvero nero. Un premio d oro aspetta chi ci riuscirà. Ma un uomo geloso ruba al suo lavoro, Cornelius viene gettato in prigione con una falsa accusa, e i suoi preziosi bulbi potrebbero perdersi. In prigione trova un amica inattesa, la gentile figlia del carceriere, Rosa, che lo aiuta a custodire il fiore che cresce.
