| Notes: | When 8 year-old Max discovers a box of 12 wooden soldiers in Napoleonic uniforms, hidden in the attic of their new home, he is naturally delighted. But is there a link between this old house and the Bronte museum nearby? His find becomes a rare treasure when he realizes that The Twelves are alive, having been endowed by their four genii (the literary Bronte children) with incredible abilities: to think, speak, behave and regenerate their lives at will! Each man has his own name, appearance and identity, reflecting the various aspects of the children's own personalities. But how long can Max keep his precious secret, with two suspicious older siblings nosing about? |
