Classmates Belle Marie, Tess Brown and Julien Edgehawk discover that having tea on Wednesday afternoons – barefoot and in pajamas – is the secret gateway into Belzerac, a strange new world of talking animals and a glittering sapphire forest. But while Belzerac is easy to access, it's a little trickier to return from, and they might be stranded if they never find Belzerac's secret exit. Meanwhile, musician Orpheus is grief-stricken when his bride Eurydice dies on their wedding night. He departs the living realm and descends into the Underworld in search of her. Heading straight for the royal court of Hades and Persephone, Orpheus hopes to petition the King and Queen for Eurydice's release. To his dismay, however, it seems the royal couple may not be the ones holding the keys to his wife's freedom. In this sequel to the fantasy adventure novel, Tea in Pajamas, Belle and her friends – as well as Orpheus and Eurydice – all want the same thing: to be authors of their own fate. But they'll have to learn that salvation isn't about a destination and has to come from within.

Le Score:

Vous aurez remarqué que la fiche de chaque livre contient un nombre baptisé SCORE.

De quoi s'agit-il?

Il s'agit d'une évaluation communautaire de chaque livre calculée sur une échelle de 0 à 100.

Cette évaluation repose sur une agrégation de diverses quantités qui reflètent la vie de chaque livre au sein de la communauté ScholarVox. Cette vie s'exprime en fréquence de lecture, nombre d'étagères publiques, privées, professorales dans lesquelles le livre est présent.

Un calcul "propriétaire" mélangeant ces quantités vous restitue sous la forme synthétique d'un Score l'intelligence collective incorporée dans chaque livre. Ce Score n'est pas une note scolaire, c'est bien plus un indicateur de l'aura collective du livre.

Car, pour paraphraser Robert Parker, expert ès-notation des vins, " ...there can never be any substitute for your own reading palate nor any better education than reading the book yourself."
