Flip is happening! Do you know this event?

This year, Flip takes place between the 23rd and 27th of November and, as always, is held in the city of Paraty, which is 260 km from the capital of Rio.

The book tells the story of brothers Carlos and Sofia, who are isolated during the pandemic and live with their father, who needs to work during the health crisis.
