This French chapter book is aimed
at children 8-12 years of age (10-14 year-olds
if in immersion) and is the second adventure in
the Viviane
& Simon series (Une
Twiga à Ottawa, 2003). In Déclic
à Toronto, Mireille Messier tells
the story of Viviane and Simon, a young brother-and-sister
team, who travel to Toronto to spend their summer
vacation with their cousin Yanni. During a visit
to the mysterious castle of Casa Loma they find
an old miniature camera hidden in a heating vent.
Could this little gem have belonged to a spy?
Only the clues in the salvaged photos will be
able to tell the tale. And so begins a story
that will take the young reader on an extraordinary
urban mystery in the Big Smoke.
