The Search for Roberto Dias

By Mary Edward

In Rio de Janeiro, Lucy Fallon, the 14 year old privileged daughter of wealthy divorced parents, is never allowed to venture out on the dangerous streets of the city alone, until an emergency at her private school sends her home just as her soap opera star mother is leaving for Hollywood to collect an award. Left in the care of the housekeeper and the chauffeur, Lucy is bored, and she persuades Manoel Barreto, the housekeeper's son, to let her join him as he tries to help a couple of hungry street children find their brother. In the end Lucy has more excitement than she bargained for when their adventures on the streets of Rio reach their dramatic and dangerous conclusion.
