Part of the Karito Kids Adventure series, Florence Fiasco stars Gia Valentina Russo, an 11-year-old girl who works in her family's pensione but dreams of being a famous fashion designer one day. Gia is thrilled when one of the greatest designers of all time comes to stay at their inn. But the dream becomes a nightmare when the beautiful shoes created by the designer can't be found and he blames Gia. Gia teams up with an American guest to fix this fashion fiasco and looks below the surface to learn more than she ever expected about herself, her family, and the way-cool history of the family's pensione. As with all Karito Kids Adventures, the books interact with the Karito Kids website and allow kids to activate a donation to a childrens charity online.
