Bestseller List – English sample available

Filippo is running away from school having finally found the courage to stand up to his teacher who has been humiliating him for years. Outside, his best friend Giorgio is sitting in the car waiting for him; Giorgio has just been to his brother’s funeral and is wondering if it is normal that he hasn’t shed a tear. Then Clo runs up to them, having just stolen a mobile phone in the hope, perhaps, of calming the pain she feels inside. The three exchange a glance and immediately understand, recognise and choose each other. For all three of them, this is the moment they decide to change, to gather their courage and follow their dreams.
Clo knows exactly how to achieve this. Her backpack is full of notes on which she writes the reasons she has to be grateful for life. Now Filippo and Giorgio must also find the special reason to start truly living. Because you can only achieve happiness if you are not afraid to reach for it.
