Visão Junior Magazine - September 2011
«My name is Ruben Filipe Meireles and I’m

book two years ago in my summer vacations,
I haven’t been able to stop. These stories tell
the adventures of a group of friends in the
magical land of Oníris, where seven races
with seven different hair colours and
singularities live under the rule of the gods. It
was a magical experience to read these
books and to discover this amazing world.»

that the child I once was is still within me
