Hi guys! i was thinking about a book series I read when I was a kid and found out it has little to none online presence haha although I read this in my native language, the original book is in italian "la bambina della sesta luna" by Moony Witcher which is like "The girl of the Sixth Moon" or something. I assume it was popular around early-mid 2000's in Europe, I couldn't find any english translation or USA edition. I remember the book was being sooooo interesting, there was roman and egyptian mythology, magics and some alchemy stuff. I was wondering if anyone else has read it here? 🙂
The other series I read and haven't heard many people talking about are Ulysses Moore by Pierdomenico Baccalario (another italian book series lol), The Little Vampir by Angela Sommer-Bodenburg and Dragon Slayers' Academy by Kate McMullen. I have amazing memories with these books.
Which books did you read as a kid that feel like no one else knows as if you’re the only one who ever read them? 🙂

Two were “Don’t Hurt Laurie” which… yeah it was my favorite book as a kid and possibly a glaring red flag I was being physically abused by my Mom, I don’t think that book could get published today.
And the other I was forced to read in school… it was called The Magic Bicycle and it’s a super bizzare fundamentalist Christian novel? I have no idea how it was allowed honestly and I got in trouble for finishing it in a day and reading other stuff in class because it was not.. yeah it was just a super weird book in so many ways.
Law of Wolf Tower by Tanith Lee, I actually forgot the name of it for a long time until someone on here identified it for me haha
Anything by William Sleator. Singularity, Interstellar Pig, The Green Futures of Tycho. While it seems they were popular enough, I’ve never met anyone else who read them.
Open Season by Linda Howard. It’s my favorite book (read it when I was like 12, nobody else I know has heard of it)
Almost everything, mostly because I only learnt English from age 12.
Savvy by Ingrid Law. I adored that book, I must have read it at least 20 times. At some point I found out it had sequels but never read them because they weren’t translated or they weren’t available here at the time or something like that. I think that book was the start of my love for magic and adventures.
