Publisher's Summary:

Seth Coleman's Peppino introduces readers to a young Italian boy who is destined for greatness but first must overcome grave obstacles in order to fulfill his potential. Born in nineteenth-century southern Italy, Peppino is the son of the baroness of Bologna. A member of the famous Medici family, one of the most prominent families in European history, the baroness expects her son to claim his role of baron and accept his rightful place among the aristocracy. However, the precocious Peppino rebels against his upper-class position, setting off on his own to fight for the common people.

Ultimately a story of good versus evil, religion versus God, and hypocrisy versus righteousness, Peppino examines history through the lens of the personal. Through his novel, Coleman offers readers a human story with breathtaking scope.

Critic Reviews:

"A fast moving historical tale of religious and class conflicts, told with a personal touch. Coleman...jumps quickly from one action-packed event to another in fast-paced storytelling that's highly enjoyable." (Kirkus Reviews)

"I was drawn into his world and into his time and space. I was truly changed by the experience of reading Peppinos story - a rare glimpse into a way of life separated by time and circumstance." (Joseph P. Thomas, features writer and researcher)

Members Reviews:

unfinished

we got thru the first chapter and stopped. when a seven year old character is using big words, it just doesn't sound believable.
