Mia is suddenly in a foreign land, with relative strangers, speaking only Italian and an overriding fear that the demon will come again. Her long-lost Italian (from Milan!) relatives come to her rescue, exorcise the demon and take her quickly back to protection in Italy. Mia is an American teen in an American town who is suddenly inhabited by a demon. But, I really have no idea what the cover art has to do with the book at all. With a daughter living in Italy, the Italian city in the title caught my eye. How can you beat that title? I joked that it might be a Disney-made book. I still remember reading a long list of possible books to read and grabbing for “One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies” by Sonya Sones. How do you pick out a book to read? What attracts you? Is it the author? (This book is the first by a new author.) Is it the title or the cover? What moves your hand on the shelf to grab a book and look at it? Personally, I’ve always loved a good title. The Demon Catchers of Milan by Kat Beyer Published: August, 2012
