- Mulch Diggums is one of my favourite characters and in this book did his best twice
- in this book we're pictured Eoin, me, Andrew and Paolo (where we are?)

- in this book we dedicate two pages to one of the most famous & brilliant GN of all the times (where? which one?)
- this book will be released in three different editions at the same time - US hardcover ( my favourite ), US paperback (
Hyperion Books for Children) and UK paperback (Penguin Books) - in USA, UK, Canada and Australia. © 2009 Text: Eoin Colfer - Art: Giovanni Rigano

=Jeko=: la memoria enfatizza i ricordi e, in questo caso, la dentatura delle lucertole. ti ringrazio per il bel commento. le lucertole no.
