Who is...
We are a creative studio and we
work on our ideas and tips from
our authors and publishers. We
create synergies, books, comic bo-
oks that sometimes become carto-
ons, tv series, movies and fantasy
worlds. We create with internatio-
nal authors and artists and we be-
lieve that our greatest success is
the fun that we feel when we ima-
gine new works.
We tell unusual stories about real
people living in a fantasy world.
You will read them on our books
and watch them on tv and in mo-
vies. The door to the Impossible is
open... welcome to our world!

of her, including her four inseparable friends with whom she enjoys in bullying students. Alice, on the
contrary, is a good girl ,curiously logical, and even pedant sometimes.
Heart steals Alice’s final test in ‘’Good Empathy” because it’s complicated for her to identify herself in
suffering people and therefore Alice is sent away from the ‘School of Wonder’’, at least until the Mad
Hatter, after a quarrel with her best friend, will reveal the truth. But at that point when things seem to
turn out bad for the perfidious girl, her father, a very rich and powerful man interferes to save her dau-
ghter from the expulsion and the Rector decides to keep her if she manages to get through a test of
‘’friendship’’ with Alice, which is about the fulfillment of ten common steps. A novel about friendship,

relationship between the Queen of Hearts and Alice in an ironic crazy way but respecting Lewis Carrol

Pages: 160- Age: 10-13 years-
Language: English Writer: Philip Osbourne-
Pages: 128- Language: English
A boy finds a costume fully equipped with super powers created by the CIA to fight the forces of
evil. A few side-effects: No instruction manual and a dangerous criminal who will do anything to lay
his hands on it.
Mike Lee has recently moved to New Jersey and he doesn’t really get on with his friends at school
because he doesn’t respect the rules. After his dad ended up on the front pages of the Big Apple
newspapers for a burglary that he has never committed, young Mike finds it really hard to talk to his
classmates and his impulsive attitude doesn’t help him with the teachers either.
During an afternoon walk on along the Hudson’s River edge he finds a suitcase with a crazy costu-
me inside. The moment he puts it on he gets into trouble with the CIA as well as with a dangerous
criminal but he also starts growing mature and will be able to solve his dad’s mystery.
Five kids team up as Dream
Defenders to protect our world
from the creatures of our dreams
and nightmares.
A coming-of-age book between “Stand By Me” and “The Goonies” with fantasy and iro-
nic twist. The protagonists represent five different kinds of personalities: the genius, the
rebel, the braggart, the coward and the impulsive. What was supposed to be a punish-
ment for their misbehaviours will them together instead. Once they’ve been taken into
the same room and gotten to know each other, they find out the world is in real danger.
As no one believes them, they will have to solve it by themselves, using talents and
skills they didn’t even know they had.
