Summary: 4 Stars
What is the mystery of Capri ? The people who live there never talk about the mystery. They think it is bad luck. Then, three men come in search of three things. In the process, they end up solving the mystery of Capri. Find out what happens in the historical fiction by Ann Weil.
Michele's life changes forever when three men come to the little island of Capri. The men are each searching for different things, one for beauty , another for adventure, and one for something difficult to explain. The men want to figure out the mystery of Capri.
The story takes place takes place in the winter of 1826 on the little island of Capri. Capri is off the coast of Naples, Italy. The innkeepers of the island were not expecting visitors in the winter time. Most of the people that live on Capri are poor fishermen.
Michele is the main character in the story. He is tall, brown haired, brown eyed, and is fourteen years old. He helps his parents run an inn in Capri. He is also friendly to the guests that come. He is loyal to his friends on the island. I think his character is believable. He likes to play, run, and help his parents.
Out of all of the characters, I thought Signor Pagano was the most interesting of all. He is interesting to me because he thinks of what he could give to Michele. He cannot send Michele to school or to medical school. However, he gives Michele an adventure he will not forget. Mrs. Pagano opposes the idea. However, will Mrs. Pagano agree? Find out when you read this book.

Do you like mystery stories? Do you like adventure stories? If you do, you will like the book Red Sails to Capri. It is funny, full of suspense, and will keep you guessing. I hope you will read this book and enjoy it as much as I have.
