. say?

Visão Junior Magazine - September 2011

«My name is Ruben Filipe Meireles and I’m

12 years old. I live in Oeiras and I just started

8th grade. Since I began reading the first

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.»

One day I would like to wake up in Oniris and

live all its adventures (Francisco)

Because of you, today I’m an avid 24-year-old

fantasy fan. It’s never too late to start to

enjoy reading (Pesco)

When I enter this magical world, I go back to

when I was 10/11 years old (…) Today,

whenever I read “The 7 Colours of Oníris” I find

that the child I once was is still within me

(Dulce Pacheco)
