This is a charming little book. Be prepared to suspend reality as there are some silly antics, but they made me smile. Uplifting and heartwarming. A quick read.

Signor Speranza's heart is in the right place when he devises a plan to make money to pay the village's water bills and, ultimately, save the village (population 212) itself. The plan is based on a rumor, and he finds himself having to tell more and more lies to the villagers and to his loved ones until it all spirals out of control.

I loved the quirky characters and found myself rooting for Signor Speranza. This was a truly entertaining read.
