Vitória Velluno clutches her emotionalist in her hands and stares at the entrance to the Schuman School. In that big red notebook she jots down all the feelings going through her mind. Now, for example, she is a bit nervous because it is the first day of the new year. But she learned that negative emotions must be listened to and dealt with. And facing them is even easier when you have friends like Nereo, Erme, Bea, and Sarah, who are special for real: one is a ghost who walks through walls; the other is a pointy-eared elf; and the last two are vampires. Vitória is glad that fantastic creatures can finally live free among humans, because in their company she is able to be herself. And he is not afraid to ask for help.

Because some strange postcards that have come to her seem to suggest that the mother who abandoned her when she was just a child is back in town. Vitória does not know if he feels like meeting her; he is experiencing too many unknown emotions that he cannot name. And then the threats to his supernatural friends are not over yet. To make matters worse, Nereo is increasingly elusive after being so close in that cave hidden among the waterfalls, and Erme has let her down by withholding too important a truth from her. Sometimes we must learn to trust even those who seem to turn their backs on us. Because everyone has their own share of emotions to deal with, but friendship is a bond that nothing can break and everything can defeat.

After the great success of Vitória Velluno and the Room of Emotions, the protagonist who captivated young readers returns. Thanks to her, emotions are less scary and you slowly become a little older.
